I read somewhere that Mercedes sells (or used to sell) some silica packs that are very similar, if not the same as the small desiccant silica gel packs you get in some packages. I believe Mercedes used these to boost or refresh the silica level in their antifreeze because it may get depleted over time. That is about all that I remember.
Does anyone know more about this and can further explain how the silica gel works in the coolant and what Mercedes believed was the benefit of using it?
I was not able to find anything about it from searching but I'm sure my memory is correct.
