Can I top off my oem coolant with this stuff in a pinch?

I need to add coolant and I'm in a really cold environment. Can I add a bit of this to my OEM fill until I can get a full change

It's not a good idea to mix different types of antifreeze nowadays. Make sure it is compatible with what is in the system.

That looks like the right stuff. You can mix different brands of coolant as long as it’s the right type (blue).
