What happens if you put Mercedes coolant on your car?
If the engine is not becoming hot while it has Mercedes coolant present in it, a lot of pressure may need to be put on the cooling system to find the problem area. Other symptoms of engine damage are if the engine fails to crank, as well as presence of Mercedes coolant in the oil. The oil would have a milky appearance if this were the case.

What’s the normal coolant level in a Mercedes?
I have checked the radiator on a number of occasions and the level looks fine (i.e. full). At first I thought it was when the engine was increasing in temperature (getting up towards 95C), however over the last couple of weeks it’s started happening nearer to the usual 85C running temperature.

What happens if you use the wrong kind of coolant?
If you use the wrong kind of coolant, with the wrong type of additives, then corrosion to engine components might be a problem. Unfortunately, it can take up to a year for this kind of corrosion to become obvious to the driver, and even then is generally misidentified by drivers as a radiator problem.
