yes, the MB approved is a must-have. The Zerez G5 is the identical antifreeze to the mercedes and quite a bit cheaper.
Whatever you do.....do NOT use Dex-cool extended life coolant. There have been numerous complaints/lawsuits regarding this stuff.
Two gallons of G5 will be plenty for a 50/50 mix and some left over........
