Product Information

So, there we go. Hopefully this information has been useful, if you have any further questions not covered here please ask and I will try to get the answer. This is the traditional coolant based on inorganic additives and is called inorganic additive technology (IAT). It is a tried and proven chemistry that provides a fast acting protective film. The additives deplete and the coolant needs to be drained and replenished every couple of years. This type can be used on all mixed metal engines with components including steel, cast iron, copper, brass, aluminium and solder without any detrimental effect. Coolant, as it relates to vehicles, is constantly a liquid or gas substance used to regulate the temperature of your engine. Liquid coolants are usually half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to lower the chilly point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is highly difficult. Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time you've heard of ethylene glycol as it is the primary ingredient in the prominent term "antifreeze". Keep in mind, you never want to pour antifreeze or water by themselves into your engine system. They need to be combined to create the normal coolant.

To ensure your cooling system continues to work properly, it is crucial to use the recommended Mercedes coolant. Consult your owner’s manual or seek advice from a specialist Mercedes garage, like us at South Coast Garage, to ensure the correct coolant is used.The older Q1030004, G48-spec stuff can be used in a newer engine like these, but only if the cooling system is completely drained and refilled. We strongly advise against mixing the two, which can lead to damaged cooling system components. 325.6/326.6-Compatible Engines (2014-Present):

In the case of a pre-mixed coolant, filling up comes down to pouring it into the coolant bottle. Concentrated coolant (antifreeze) must be mixed with distilled water before usage, usually in a 50/50 ratio. Why does my Mercedes-Benz lose engine coolant? Propylene Glycol, on the other hand, is a less toxic and safer alternative. It also has good heat transfer properties, but it has a lower boiling point than Ethylene Glycol. Sealing and Gasket Protection : Coolant keeps the gaskets and seals in good condition, preventing leaks and damage to other components. The original formula from Mercedes, a yellow color, carried the Q1030002 part number and was interchangeable with a G05-type coolant. Mercedes has since introduced a new, blue-colored antifreeze as a replacement that carries the Q1030004 part number and is interchangeable with a G48-spec antifreeze. You can mix the two in a pinch, but the yellow stuff hasn’t been sold for the last decade. Seriously consider draining and refilling your cooling system if your coolant is that old; its cooling and anticorrosion properties have deteriorated. 325.0/326.0-Compatible Engines (Pre-2014): To protect your engine from potential damage, it is essential to maintain your Mercedes’ cooling system properly. This includes using the correct coolant and ensuring it is at the right level.When you choose our coolant flush service at South Coast Garage, you can trust us to prioritise your safety and the health of your vehicle. Your Mercedes-Benz will receive the utmost care, providing you with peace of mind on the road. In Summary None other than the user may want to use the pre-mixed product due to ease of handling or cost and visa versa.

Corrosion Prevention : Coolant will stop rust and damage, keeping your engine and cooling system in good shape for longer.Proper maintenance of your Mercedes-Benz coolant is crucial for keeping your vehicle running in top condition. Here are some key reasons why: Understanding the role of coolant in your Mercedes engine can help you appreciate the importance of keeping the system in optimal condition. The newer OAT coolants work differently than the older silicate based IAT coolants. Aluminium and ferrous metals form a surface-layer of corrosion in the presence of moisture, even with the little bit of moisture in the air. OAT coolants prevent this metal-oxide layer that protects the surface against this corrosion. Inherent with their design, the OAT coolants last longer than the older traditional IAT coolants. This category of antifreeze cannot be used in systems containing yellow metals. Mercedes recommends a coolant flush and refill every 30,000 miles or every two years, whichever happens first. Truthfully, you'll be fine to run the same coolant for a bit longer than that, but the antifreeze's cooling and protective properties won't be as strong as they were. That is especially the case with the older 325.0-spec Q1030002 and Q1030004 bottles of antifreeze. The newest 325.6 formula, part number Q1030005, has improved durability, so it should retain its properties for longer.
