Blue Antifreeze
Good evening,

I recently ordered a gallon of MB antifreeze, which arrived today, in blue.

In the past, the antifreeze I've ordered has been a pale orange/yellow, so did I get the wrong stuff, or did the formula change?

The part # is BQ 1 03 0004

Thanks in advance for any advice!

My antifreeze is blue. At first I thought it was washer fluid.

Maybe I'll pour half of it in the washer fluid reservoir just in case

It's compatible, but blue is the older stock as far as I know. The new coolant is yellow. You can go to O'reillys and get Zerex G-05 coolant and it will work, it's also yellow.

Yea if the car has blue or the old yellow they'll continue to use the blue coolant... The newer cars 2015-up comes with pink and is recommended to continue using the pink coolant...
