"green stuff has been in the car for 3 decades and done just fine"... but the car did just have a hg job at 111k which is pretty low mileage... could be anything, but I know in ours, there was extensive pitting due to the green coolant that was in it at the time... block had to be braised etc... *but* as you point out, that was years ago (15+ years ago in my case)... there have probably been significant changes to the green stuff over that time frame, and if the car just got fresh coolant, it should not be a significant concern anyway...
All my c900s use Zerex G05 (or in the past merc coolant), because back then, it mattered. Honestly, the cost differential is trivial and I live in a city so anything I want to use is readily available... is it as critical today, probably not... he should however check that a new tstat was put in, and also note the temperature of it, and ideally have a matching fan switch...
