Engine coolant--Did I screw up?

MH is 2009 Monaco Camelot Engine is Cummins ISL 425
Getting ready to leave campground Sunday morning and noticed no coolant in the resevoir. After checking owners manual it states I need "Fully formulated coolant must meet ASTM D-6210/D-6211". I found Caterpillar branded coolant that excceded the ASTM D-6210 specs. Now the question-The coolant that is in the engine is green, the Cat. coolant is red. Did I screw up by mixing 2 gallons of the red with the green?
As for the leak, it appears to be somewhere between the engine and the Aqua Hot. That will be next weekends project. Thanks for any help

Not likely any issue w/mixing so long as the added coolant meets spec.

I found a hose clamp on my rig that wasn't snug enough, and allowed a teeny drip (I noticed the wet spot) once the rig was 2 years old. After that I did a full check of all coolant connections, some of which should have been tighter IMO. After the full check of connections I didn't leak or miss any coolant in the last 2500 miles. You fairly new engine setup may have a similar teeny leak that is easy to fix.

I bought a gallon of Fleetguard ES Complete. It's blue and says on the container: Fully compatible will ALL coolants for diesel and gas. I believe it is the BEST there is.
