G48 is available from Mercedes dealerships, under the spec number 7700.20. Mercedes replaced G05 with G48 several years ago - 5 or 10? You should also be able to get it from BMW or VW dealerships. BMW is N600 69.0 and VW is G11. Any place that sells European car supplies should have these coolants. Pentosin Pentofrost NF is widely available and meets the G48 (and related brand) specs. IMHO there isn't much reason to use one coolant over another on an old car. The things newer coolants are trying to do (protect aluminum, plastic, fancy seals, extend service life) are less beneficial on old cars. Prestone + distilled water will do everything 25 year old Glysantin formulas will do... and might do it better. TBH, distilled water is ultimately the key in all of these.
