Agree with dbish.
if you mix different types of coolants, you will get a reaction between the two, and it gells like thick snot, blocks up the tubes, tank/ heater core.
Not good.
Used to work next to a radiator business, saw it so often, along with damaged motors. Very sad, as it didnt have to happen.
I would recomend genuine toyota coolant, or motorcraft R13b in the 500ml bottle.
Both are good products.
I will never use tectalloy lolly water ever again, either premix or the concentrate.
Flush rad core, heater core, block, and drain.
Use new filtered water, or demineralised water if you use a concentrate.

Used the motorcraft coolant for many years, have seen one EA falcon that did 150k on its original head gasket whilst using the motorcraft product.
All the other EA's I saw came in at 70 to 80k with leaking heads.
