Yeah, the Zerex G-05 is an OAT formulation and therefore compatible...I was going to use it in the M-B...but I couldn't find it in any of my local auto parts stores...so I went with the M-B coolant which was the same price.
But if you can find it, the Zerex should be a good deal cheaper than Volvo's blue green.
The pricing on Volvo fluids strikes me as ridiculous...the B-G coolant is bad at nearly double retail...but not as bad as the trans fluid at roughly five times retail...Current Fleet:

FWIW: I've been able to get Zerex G-05 at the local NAPA store.
