G05 is the same as Mercedes coolant + dilutes to a kind of piss yellow.
I thought G48 was blue + what was used by Saab + BMW...
My impression was the properties are similar, they may even be ok to mix, but they aren't the same, at least in colour... I haven't bought G48 so feel free to correct me if I am wrong!
The only downside to either is they can be confused for the green $#!t once they are in the tank since they both have a greenish look that dexcool does not... this can conceivably induce mixing of coolants by an unknowing mechanic... something to avoid...
