Ooo yeah I don't think that's a good idea based on everything I've read....

From what I understood the problem was when mixing OAT with HOAT which could cause gelling... Mixing a universal 50/50 with either is fine... I think Even Eddie chimed in and said it was ok... I can’t find the thread, but I’ll keep looking...

This. You're fine. When you do a full flush, I'd refill with the factory recommendations though.

Here are Eddie's quotes from the thread your talking about, which is also linked by coz above in this thread. So I wouldn't be mixing in the green stuff but it's up to you.
"Glad you added this as I would not recommend mixing HOAT with old school "green stuff"
"Good deal. While it may not react the same way as HOAT and OAT getting mixed together, I'm pretty sure Chrysler doesn't recommend adding green stuff to HOAT as it degrades the benefits of it."

Yeah, that was the thread... and James was the one that helped me out.. In my situation... I have OAT .. So when its time for a flush, I’ll use Mopar OAT... If I need to top off a little, I’m not worried about using Prestone 50/50. And I’d never mix with Mopar HOAT based on the info here. I should probably just grab a couple bottles of Mopar OAT at some point.
