I was faced with the same problem with my w212, what to use to replace the fluid lost due to an minor leak. I went the MB and bought their recommended Anti-freeze for my Merc. But I didn't use it because I was not sure what kind of anti-freeze was already in the engine, if it was original ( was supposed to last 15 years) of if it had been changed at any time, so I got 5 ltrs of Comma Xstream G48 concentrate, ( which is recommended for my car )and flushed and refilled the engine with it. Subsequently, I discovered that the MB A 000 989 08 25 10 is compatible with the Comma Xstream G48. So if I need to top it up in future, the MB Antifreeze can be used. Better be safe than sorry. The 5 ltrs of Comma concentrate only cost £22.00, and its not rocket science to change it.How would they know what’s currently in the car? It could have been changed
