Mixing Green /Yellow/ Orange antifreeze
I'm pretty much aware that mixing Orange (Dexcool) and regular green
antifreeze is a bad idea. However, what about the new "universal" extended life formulas that are yellowish in color? They advertise that they can mix with any other antifreeze. The dude at Napa said that they won't mix. Who should I believe? |

He is saying what he thinks, and what will protect his ass. I would prefer not to mix the species. I think that some CAN be mixed, but if I am going to change, I am going to flush the block and the radiator, and add all new coolant. It is just a cleaner way to do things. |
