Dexcool coolant warning

Dexcool is a bad product. Even with dexcool, you have to change the coolant once in a while. The biggest problem with american coolant is the ph buffer... it is not really a buffer but more like alkaline rich coolant that let counteract acid.

You need to use MB coolant... it is the greatest of all coolant out there, It is a real buffered coolant that is pretty neutral and stay neutral until the buffer runs out... rather than the american coolant which is alkaline and then goes toward acid level.

Be careful in what you say, Valvoline's (an America company) products and many others a fully approved by MB for use in their cars.

According to Valvoline their G-05 has been used in MB factory fills since 1984.

I wasn't going to get into that can of worms, but MB's break in oil came from Ashland, Kentucky, as did a lot of other "house brand" oils. I believe that there is only one oil company there. Pretty much like oil, any coolants meeting the same specs *should* be identicle.

You are talking about the Valvoline G-05... again, this is specific coolant that is made the same way as MB coolant... not generic green or orange coolant...

Ok maybe the Valvoline IS the MB coolant?

It is possible Valvoline made them for MB in USA.

The MB branded coolant you buy from a MB dealer in the USA is made by Texaco.

The maker of the Dexcool I used.

Then again... Dexcool is GM specification.. not MB.
