Normally there would be a sticker near the remote reservoir that said to use Dex-cool if the system came with it. If no sticker, then it is usually the green stuff. Some 1995s came with Dex-cool and 1996 and up should have.
I have seen info both ways on mixing. Some said definitely don't and others said ok, but your protection will only be as good as the old green stuff. Personally, I would not mix unless you had no choice or did it by accident. I would flush it sometime in the near future and put all of one kind back in. I don't see it hurting anything for the short term.

I've used both the green stuff and dexcool, shouldn't make a huge difference between one and the other. I would recommend that you don't keep them mixed if you accidentally put some green stuff in with dexcool, or vice-versa. Can't see how that would be a good thing.
