What type of Engine Coolant??? Yes I searched...
Well, I don't have an owner's Manual yet, as the dealer had to order one fo my car. I've searched this board extensively, as well as MBworld, and cannot for the life of me find any reference to what type of coolant these things use, aside from it being BLUE. HELP!

What’s a HOAT? Hybrid OAT in this case means it has a traditional Ethylene Glycol-base, with a single OAT inhibitor and is moderately silicated. The version now being installed by DC, and tested by Ford, is based on the German BASF product, Glysantin G 05. It has been used in extensively in European Mercedes Benz and other manufacturer’s vehicles since the late 1980’s. New users expect that it will provide the 5-year, 100K miles coverage they desire. G 05 proponents believe that its moderate dose of silicates provide greater aluminum protection than a straight OAT while still being water pump friendly.
You need to use MoparT Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), it is a HOAT antifreeze; it is a hybrid organic acid technology coolant whose inhibitor package is slightly different from traditional high-silicated green coolant and it can not be mixed with any other type!
