2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Coolant

These signs can reflect depleted coolant protection, a leak, or another cooling-system condition. The system is under pressure and hot after running, so checking it should be done cold. A service visit can test condition and pressure rather than relying on appearance alone.

• Temperature gauge running higher than usual
• Sweet smell or a puddle beneath the front of the vehicle
• Rusty, cloudy, or low coolant in the reservoir

The refill uses the coolant type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. The pressure test helps distinguish a routine coolant service from a leak requiring repair. Inspection is performed as part of the cooling-system evaluation at Mercedes-Benz of Tampa.

• Drain and refill with manufacturer-specified coolant
• Cooling-system pressure test
• Inspection of hoses, cap, radiator, and water pump area

That schedule is the reference for planned coolant replacement on this vehicle. Coolant condition can also be tested during a service visit between scheduled points, especially when a driver notices a smell, puddle, unusual temperature reading, or low reservoir level. Testing helps identify whether service is due or whether a leak needs attention.

• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule
• Request a coolant-condition test between scheduled points
• Book an inspection when warning signs appear

Coolants are not interchangeable, so selecting fluid by convenience can compromise the intended protection of the cooling system. Color is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle or whether two products are compatible. Mercedes-Benz of Tampa can use the manufacturer-specified type and concentration during service.

• Use the manufacturer-specified coolant type
• Do not assume different coolants are interchangeable
• Do not use color alone to identify coolant compatibility

If the level keeps dropping, that indicates a leak rather than normal consumption. The system should be checked cold because it is under pressure and hot after running. A pressure test can help locate the condition and determine whether coolant service or repair is needed.

• Adding coolant does not renew depleted additives
• A repeatedly low level can indicate a leak
• Have the system checked cold by a service professional
