What happens when you mix green and orange antifreeze in a jeep wrangler?

The difference between the two colors is that orange antifreeze contains a different type of corrosion inhibitor that has a much longer service life than silicates, phosphates and borates. Orange antifreeze contains organic acids that protect engine parts from corrosion. Silicate (green) type antifreeze does not mix with orange type antifreeze. Never mix the two colors in a cooling system. The organic acids in orange types will cause precipitation of silicates in the green type and corrosion protection is greatly reduced.

Silicate (green) type antifreeze does not mix with red type antifreeze.

Always use what is recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
