I've never dealt with mixed coolants, but I am pretty sure it's not good. I would recommend a flush. And def get some G12. There has to be a reason they put "G12" on the coolant bottle.
One time I helped a woman at a gas station who had done this sort of thing with her Passat. It wouldn't stay cool and the coolant turned a strange color.

Good luck!
