Hopefully nothing happens. I've read in a number of places......people are claiming that a sludge will begin to form when you mix the two. However, when I asked how many actually witnessed this or had this actually happen to them firsthand, nobody came forward. Urban legend maybe??
Other threads that I have read recommended to completely flush the system and re-fill with the pink stuff. Doing some research........completely flushing the whole system is a real PITA! Bleeding can also be another big issue when refilling from "empty".
Did your dealer tell you that it was okay to mix too?? Or, were you going off of what I had mentioned in my previous post? I am just curious.

my indie told me that it wasn't bad to mix, but the brown color does make for some nervous moments if you take a casual glance at the coolant tank.

Drain and replace. Some say how can the coolant be good for the life time of the vehicle anyway. What's a life time of the car.....I should go down and screw up the dealer by telling him to put a new engine in my car because it's over 10 years old. Anyway just an idea to drain and replace then crusie on happy its a fresh batch.

I cant imagine a problem topping up such a small amount coolant or as suggested distilled water. IMHO 60ml in a 22 liter system would not make a difference.

Duh!!!! I hadn't had my coffee when I originally read Ed's post. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! 
But why would Ed want to see pics of pink and green tomatoes?
