You are correct -- the chemistries are fundamenatally different. The acid-based coolants (blue, orange and red) are "long-life" (nothing is "lifetime") and can be left in the system longer AS LONG AS NO AIR GETS IN THE SYSTEM. Air in the system causes the acid-based coolant to thicken and that will lead to serious cooling problems. Green coolant is silicate based and needs to be flushed and replaced at least every two years as the silicate package wears out and corrosion can occur thereafter. You can not mix acid and silicate based coolants -- you need make a choice and stick with it. Both work well as long as you do your maintenance, and both will cause problems if you don't.
