Typically, no. I know some manufacturers swear up and down you MUST use a certain type. Think of GM, who insist you use Dex-Cool... but I've always run green antifreeze in my GM vehicles.
You shouldn't, however, mix different coolant types. If you're going to change over to a different coolant type, you should first flush out your cooling system.
