Frequently Asked Questions:
Can DEXCOOL organic acid antifreeze be mixed with ethylene glycol antifreeze?
It is ethylene glycol based antifreeze! The concern with mixing comes from the fact that there are very different chemical inhibitor packages in use. Most leading technologies will work very well when used as intended, typically at 50% in good quality water. If the coolants become mixed with DEXCOOL, however, one study showed a possible aluminum corrosion problem in certain situations. The other question is a concern for dilution of the protection packages. At what mix is the there too little of either inhibitor to protect the engine? As a precaution, both GM and Caterpillar instruct that contaminated systems must be maintained as if they contained only conventional coolant.
Take it in and find out why it's running hot and solve that problem, then flush and put the right coolant in.

There must be something else going on...
What year/make/model car do you have..?
What caused you to add the wrong fluid (was it low, broken hose, or was it already running hot?)
More information needed in order to help you
