Fluid top up question

Prepping for zdayz, I noticed my coolant is low. I am leaving tomorrow morning. Can I just top it off with prestone extended formula.

If you have a 2009 with the green coolant that will work just fine. Use the 50/50 mix or mix your own with distilled water.

Distilled water FTW, don't worry too much guys!
And yeah, as long as it says "mixes with any color" go for it

(Better yet, buy a bottle of Water Wetter or the other one which I used but for got the name of [it's green], and let your car suck that up by itself)
