Thank you for your question. Quick answer: probably. Rule of thumb is to not mix color types. That is, if your existing coolant is red, use only a red color coolant to add to your system, if it is green, use only green, etc. Within that color rule, using a 50/50 mixture is recommended by the manufacturer.
