If you are using the non extra life coolant
do not mix with the nex coolant. There is no reason to mix the old with the new

DO NOT MIX COOLANT!

not even the stuff that says its universal....ITS JUNK! your coolant system will go all jelly like.. if its red in there which it should be...stick to red...if its green stay with greeen..

there is a way to put green in these cars and thats to have your entire system flushed and cleaned and then you can put green in instead of red..

only if the system is completely flushed can you run green...and it wont hurt anything...but the system has to be 100% completely empty of red coolant

Corrent, and once you go to green, DO NOT go back to DexCool.
