I went to shut off my car and I noticed that my fan was still running on my car. When I looked at the coolant, I did see that it was low. Now the coolant I got for it says it's compatible but it's a different color coolant. I just wanted to know is that going to cause me problems if I add it.

Yes, you should be okay, but I would try to get the correct color because it may affect the warranty.
