anti corrosive/coolant for w204 car has blue, dealer sold me orange MB325.1?
Hi first time post, I have searched and found nothing on this, please help out

I have a '08 W204, C300 4matic

The low coolant light went on and I went to the MB dealer and purchased a gallon of Anti corrosive/ coolant MB325.1 which is light orange.

I looked at my car's factory fill which is blue/purple colored...Can I mix these two types of coolant.

The manual says to use MB325.0? and the dealer said i should use the orange stuff.

I don't want to hurt anything, can somebody here please provide some insight?

Thanks

My understanding is that the blue only comes with the original factory fill of coolant.

They come from the factory with the blue stuff, anything you buy from the dealer is yellow/orange color.
You can mix them just fine.
