Depends what you mean by "traditional green coolant". Do you mean SILICATED
green antifreeze, or "Long Life" green?

For the most part, you can mix the non-silicated ones, but your corrosion
protection is reduced to 2 years. In the worst-case scenario, the corrosion
inhibitors will react with each other and wreck your motor.

What specific brands/models of antifreeze are we talking about here?
