Mercedes
engines and Mercedes cooling systems use
a lot of aluminum in their construction.
The manufacturer recommends the use of genuine
Mercedes coolant, and there is a good reason
for this. Mercedes coolant is a low abrasive,
low phosphate type. Abrasives and phosphates
can erode away the aluminum causing all
kinds of stuff to float around in the coolant.
These sediments can cause the passages inside
the radiator to clog up, impeding coolant
flow. Less flow equals less cooling ability
resulting in overheating.
