There are some IAT coolants that use propylene glycol instead of ethylene glycol. The two coolants should never be mixed together as they do not react well. When mixed together they can form a thick, jelly-like substance that can completely stop all coolant flow which can lead to overheating.Click to see full answer. Similarly one may ask, is it OK to mix different coolants?The green and orange coolants do not mix. When mixed together they form a gel-like substance that stops coolant flow and consequently the engine overheats. There are some coolants that claim compatibility with Dexcool, but I would rather err conservatively and add what the system is supposed to take rather than gamble.Likewise, what happens if you use the wrong color antifreeze? Mixing different engine coolants or using the wrong coolant can impair the performance of the special additive packages; this can result in increased corrosion to the radiator. Using the wrong engine coolant can gradually lead to corrosion and damage to the water pump, radiator, radiator hoses and cylinder gasket. Secondly, can you mix same color coolants? You can mix two different colors of the same kind of coolant without any problem whatsoever. But if you mix a significant amount of one type in with the other type, you’re weakening your corrosion inhibitors (it happened to my brother, and look at the condition he’s in now).Can you mix red and green antifreeze?It often can last five years or 150,000 miles. So it’s a better antifreeze to use. Now, if you mix them–they are not supposed to be mixed–but if you mix them it’s not like mixing an acid and a base and you are not going to have and explosion or anything like that.
