Default Can you mix the original lifetime coolant with the pink stuff?

I searched the forums but i couldn't find anything on the first couple pages.

I know you can't mix the non audi/vw coolant with audi/vw lifetime b/c then it creates gunk/gel.

I am a tiny tiny bit below the min line so i wanted to top it off.

Thanks guys

Better to use distilled water if you don't have access to the correct stuff. It has better thermal transfer ability anyhow. I still recommend Zerex G-05 coolant. Much cheaper, easier to get.
