Default Is all ORANGE/RED coolant Dex-cool?

In a pinch, I added Mobil Delvac coolant. The Delvac is orange/red and is ethylene glycol based, but NOWHERE does the bottle say "dex-cool". Perhaps it's the "Toyota Red" coolant? Do you think the Delvac is compatible with Dex-cool?

Here's a link to the coolant: http://www.mobil.com/USA-English-LCW...ntifreeze.aspx

If it doesn't say DexCool on the jug, its not DexCool.

The Prestone Dex-cool is what I normally use. I didn't know if mixing the Mobil Delvac with the Dex-cool would be a problem.
