NO, it may cause the system to turn to gel.
It's not worth it to save $10.

What do you recomend? would the regular green coolant do it or is there anything i can get at a local auto parts store?

Pentosin G12
Get it from one of our sponsors or the dealer. Its not found at pep boys or any other local store unless you have a euro tuning shop close by maybe.

Yes, either Petosin, VW, Audi & Porsche all use it.

It HAS, HAS to be G12, or G12+

All else will be BAD. You only need one gallon, and then at least 2 g of Distilled water.

MB doesn't use G12.
It's orange, & they have like 4 types.

Why are you fighting the system so bad here?
YOU NEED G12, GO BUY G12, NOTHING ELSE!
