this question has probably been asked at some point but i cant find anything in the search for it

so the guy I got my 82 from said that he put Be cool radiator fluid in it ( im not sure how to tell if thats what is in it or not, they guy said a lot of things that i have determined untrue about what was done to the car from minor repairs that i have done and seen for myself that most of it was factory and never been touched) . 

I just checked my fluid levels and noticed the radiator fluid is low (light leak on radiator- going to replace at some point) anyways
Ive heard the Green radiator fluid plays heck on heads, and just need to top it off. do I need to order the Be cool or will say Valvoline universal max life work? 

The radiator and engine components are all original and I dont want to damage anything.

thanks

Green coolant has been used forever.  I use it in all my vehicles.  I asked Tom DeWitt what kind of coolant he recommended for the aluminum radiator I bought from him.  He said it didn't really matter, just make sure you use distilled water to mix it with.  Not tap, and especially not soft water.

So i was miss informed. I just dont want to damage anything. Since i cant be sure what fluid is actually in it mixing from what ive read isnt a good thing. Yes the fluid looks green. Flush and refill sounds like my best action at this point

So i contacted be cool directly. Their. Radiator fluid is safe to mix with other types, i will copy the email in this post later when i get home.

Hello Marcus

Be Coolant Super Duty antifreeze is blue in color and is a propylene glycol base. You are correct it is best to use the same coolant but you can mix Be Coolant with any color or type coolant.

Thank you
