Engine coolant

I just checked the coolant level today and it’s low and needs topping up.
Plan on getting some Nulon concentrates and mix it with distilled water.
Do I have to top up with the same blue colour coolant that is in the car or can I top up with the newer Nulon Coolant One.

Thanks.

drain and refill with recommended coolant type, as suggested above it not wise to mix coolants. they different chemical properties based on color and brand .

If you mix them you may have possibility of turning it into a jelly which will not be good for your car at all.

you can however Top it up with Distilled water if you are close to a service cycle.
