This is a mistake and can lead to expensive repairs. The two coolants should never be mixed together as they do not react well. When mixed together they can form a thick, jelly-like substance that can completely stop all coolant flow which can lead to overheating.

Does orange or green coolant matter?

Green for about 3-years or 36,000 miles, and orange for 5-years or 150,000 miles. A good rule of thumb is to inspect it at each oil change. If it’s rust-colored, it suggests the rust inhibitor has become ineffective. This is a good sign it’s time to flush the system out, and add some new coolant.
