Mix blue and green honda coolant

Does anyone know if I can add blur honda coolant to existing green honda coolant ?

Don't really want to drain. Bikes up on a stand getting worked for a long trip.

The water pumps are sometimes prone to leaking after draining.

Just want to add cap and put it all back together.

I think as long as neither color has added silicates (they are bad for the water pump), you should be fine.

Honda Type 2 blue is a LL coolant. (Long Life) You can mix it with green but you will cut down on it's life expectancy. Blue is good for 5 years, green is good for 2 years. Mix the two, how many years is it now? If you change your coolant regularly it shouldnt be a huge issue.

This info is direct from Honda Pro "Advanced Type-2 “Blue” formula is 100% compatible with and replaces the original “Green” coolant."
