Correct coolant E63 5.5 v8

[Amg 007]

Alright guys just a quick question, i noticed my e63 w212 5.5 2013 has red/pink coolant is the correct type ?
As my previous w204 c63 cls/sl55 all had blue/green coolant. Thanks in advance.

I do see a generic trend, some manufactures seem to denote a colour scheme i.e. blue colour indicating a 2 year protection, pink indicating a 5 year protection.

The generic antifreeze must be mb specification to your engine and I think the oem brand is blue offering 2 year protection.

Best to check the service manual for spec to make sure. I use a high quality generic antifreeze to mb spec and change every 2 years. Colour of the antifreeze in my m156 engine is blue.

I bought a litre of anti freeze for my 2014 E63 last week for topping up and was asked by the parts guy what colour I had in the radiator at the moment.
It's blue and that's what I got sold. £12+ for 1 litre.

I thought the blue Mb stuff is 15 years , at least my E class is

Coolant every 15 years.
Brake fluid every 2 years on my E63

15 years?.....I think even the best coolant makers dont claim anything beyond a 5 year life.

Hi , in my C207/E400 the coolant change is 10 years or 150000 miles.

According to my MB 2014 Service Booklet the coolant change is Service 13 every 240000KM (150000 Miles) or 15 years.
It does appear a long interval.

I believe this but I think it’s a bit too long I would probably change it every 5 years.
