Until recently, the Mercedes coolant was all I used in my Benzos. But sometime last year I discovered that Valvoline, who I believe was the OEM for Mercedes coolant in the U.S., started selling a new coolant called Zerex G-05. I decided to try it when I replaced the head on my 300E, it looks and feels identical to the MB coolant and is approved for all Mercedes and DaimlerChrysler engines. It also costs about half of the MB coolant and can be found at Pep Boys and Autozone. You can read about it here:

Also, here is an interesting read about new generation coolants:
