Where this came from
  • Genuine Mercedes coolant part Q1030004 (Blue, MB 325.0) — source
  • FCP Euro — Choosing the Proper Engine Coolant for Your Mercedes — source

The coolant type is a single-source spec from the owner's manual or OEM parts catalog — we never dress that up as cross-checked against two sources, because it isn't. The system capacity carries our verified badge only when two independent sources agree on it. Coolant color is a rough hint at chemistry, not a guarantee — match the spec, not the color, and never mix families. Your owner's manual is always the final word.
