I need to change my thermostat now and don't have access to go buy MB coolant at this time. Will I lose coolant while changing the thermostat?

There were only two questions and you only answered one.

Green coolant is a big no no. When you replace the thermostat, drain the cooling system completely and refill with Zerex G05
