R50/53 Mixing coolant
#2
Officially nothing....but YPU end up with an unknown mix that does not meet any specific specification.
Nothing will likely blow up...
But the cooling system is the most overlooked iten on MINI's...
Gen1 cars with a cast iron block need a flush/drain and fill every 4 years....go too long, the rust collects (usually) in the heater core...so you losse your heat, then the headgasket tends to go....

That is orange and green makes jello......orange, aka Dex cool, is a ORGANIC ACID ...blue, and most every coolant made now (anything claiming to be long life ) is a hybrid OA, AND IS BACKWARD compatible, but that having been said, the mix does not meet any know spec.

It wasn't done on purpose. I went to two different mechanics for coolant problems and they each but in different color coolant
