Coolant type question

My car has the green coolant rather than the orange. I got it wth the green in it. Should I switch to orange (dexcool) or just keep adding the green? Thanks alot. And sorry for such a stupid question, but I know nothing about coolant types.

I'd stick with the green ethylene/glycol unless you drain and flush the entire coolant system. You don't want to mix the two types. However, if you're flushing it all out anyway then fill it back up with the orange, because it's supposedly better for the block and radiator.
