Bob,
You could, but I wouldn't advise it. The two types of antifreeze are not
compatible with each other. You will more than likely cause an accelerated
state of corrosion, and premature failure of various components.

There are one or two of the newer antifreezes that can replace the older
types, but you need to know which ones they are.

Alex Harris posted this website several months ago. I haven't looked at it
for uite a while, but it should provide you with good information.
