you can run either. and i've read that if you mix them, it's only as good as the green, and the orange doesnt add any life to the mix. but not sure how true that is... but yea, plain green after a flush is fine.

If you mix them it turns to sludge and you will have some problems. Ford did that to my Grand Prix and they ended up tearing the engine apart to clean everything and replace all the gaskets

I was told that a mix will also eat away at your gaskets which is why they replaced them all

Actually, if you mix them, it doesn't turn to sludge.... it turns to gel. You probably didn't have the green and orange mixed, you probably had the yellow mixed with one of them. Yellow is the new "universal" collant.

Sludge was my way of saying gelled cause it wasn't completly gelled it just looked bad
