Coolant Colour

[Andy G Bmth]

Good afternoon

i got a message today saying top up coolant on my Sl500 (2003 model)

the question being, the manual says just use mercedes approved coolant.

Now mercedes say use blue coolant whereas other MB forums and garages say use red/orange.

what do you guys use as i need to top up as soon as poss but dont want to pay rip off dealer prices for the same product

cheers

Andy

any useful help please?

thanks, but do you know what the standard one is so at least she can pick up one that has a chance of being right?

thanks

Andy
