Default With the summer heat comes......Coolant!!

Ok so i notice my 2000 30v A4 was down just a c-hair in the coolant dept, after looking into it, it has red coolant. I have had the car for about 20 months or so and I figure if its down a bit and I havent flushed it myself, I might as well do it. I was wandering thru the local parts store and they have a new green coolant that claims you can add it to red or green!! I'll probably do it the right way and flush the whole system and refill with red again. Any suggestions or horror stories?

Use OEM G-12 coolant only, do not mix w/anything else.
