You could put regular green stuff in your car if you did a rad flush. You just cant mix both.

Try having a place flush it otherwise if that fails its tear down the engine and clean and put back together time.
Also, I have never heard of G5 coolant. Ever. A Google search indicated that the Apple G5 computer has coolant in it, but no such thing as a type of vehicle coolant named as such.

Oh, that's because it's called "G-05" not G-5 or G5.

(Not that you want to intentionally mix different types of coolant though.)
