The Mercedes/G05 coolant thing was started by Townsend during an antifreeze shortage. He couldn't get any of the green stuff, but the Mercedes dealer had antifreeze stacked to the ceiling. After switching many of of his Saab customers over to the MB coolant, he had a drastic reduction in the amount of headgasket failures.
Another reason he had switched is that he had worked on a Mercedes with 250,000 with the original coolant. The thermostat looked brand new. The Mercedes/ Zerex G05 seems to work better with aluminum. I'm a firm believer that better fluids will translate to longer life, but I don't think they guys in Detroit want you to buy into that.
