I think it depends on what you have in there. Some you can mix and some
not.
   I am running "Havoline Phosphate Free with Dex-Cool". That "Dex-Cool"
makes it incompatable with many other types of anti-freeze although there
are some that can be added. These say "Compatable with Dex-Cool" on the
label. I cannot say why they are incompatable. Perhaps it is just a
marketing angle, perhaps not. It's that "perhaps not" that keeps me from
mixing. Anyway, the Havoline is cheap enough and the Westy seems happy.
