Aluminum Components

A coworker who has two classic Mercedes told me (when I told him I was replacing the stock radiator with a Champion aluminum one and installing new Edelbrock aluminum heads as part of the 340 rebuild) to stop by the Mercedes dealership and buy their coolant. Mercedes supposedly has used aluminum components for decades and their coolant is designed for use with this material.
Thoughts/comments on this? Made sense to me.


Yes, I have thoughts/comments on this..... All the auto manufacturers have been using aluminum components for decades at this point.

If you like your coolant in a Mercedes jug at 4 to 5 times the cost, go for it.
