So the other night i accidentaly added a very small amount of mixed 50/50 green stuff into my car which currently has the pink dexcool in it. I only added about 1/4 cup of a 50/50 mixture of water and the green peak antifreeze. My question is that should i be concerned with this small amount of green stuff in the car? If it risks anything i will flush it out, i dont want to ruin a seal or bearing, just wondering if its alright to leave the coolant as is.
Thanks

 

You're fine.

 

Thank you Shoebox

 

It just shortens the life of the Dexcool. Not that I'd run Dexcool as long as they say it can go.

 

I'm not so sure. They specifically say never to mix the two. If it were mine I'd give it a good flush and refill.

 

That ain't so.

 

it's not to be mixed due to it reducing the "lifetime" dex-cool states on their plastic bottle. Also it causes a very strange color to emerge which worries some folks. Shoe is correct though... you're fine.

 

Look on the container. It should tell you if it is compatible with Dexcool or define those ingredients. Believing what is printed there is the next step of faith.
