Putting non dexcool compatible coolant in the cooling system can cause problems and sludgy buildup in the cooling system but Most coolant you buy these days will say on the bottle "compatible with any colour coolant " or compatible with dexcool" and if it doesn't you can easily find a brand that will be compatible with dexcool coolant at any automotive store.
If you have allready mixed the coolant with non compatible coolant I recommend to flush ur coolant system and use a dexcool compatible replacement coolant flushing the coolant system every few years is a good practice even if you have 5 year life coolant..

What kind of antifreeze do you use for a 2000 Chevy Venture?
Manual calls for DEX-COOL It actually depends on what type of coolant is in it now. If it's green, it's been traded out with normal coolant. If it's reddish, it still has DEX-COOL in it. NOTE: you should never mix the two types together. DEX-COOL and normal coolant can clog up the system if mixed together. Some places sell a type that is safe for either type of system, but i'd go with whichever is currently in your system, $5 for a gallon of regular coolant or $8 for DEX-COOL but it improves expectancy of your heating and cooling system (which the venture sure can use)

In general, a coolant is any liquid that will keep your car from overheating.
