I recently used a case each of Prestone, Dow, and Texaco. A week later I dumped the last few drops from each container into one container. Now I have about a pint of this mixture. It has grease like stuff floating on top and the various colors (red, green, and blue) did not mix, they just form sort of a muddy streaked color. I would say that they are not compatible. Fortunately, I just used it in a lawn roller and should not have to worry about anything but corrosion resistance. I wouldn't want it in a car.
