Adding coolant

I have been reading about FCA's. When I bought my truck 5000 miles ago, the dealer said Ford serviced the entire vehicle. Just to be safe, I ordered test strips.

My question is, if the test strip shows OK, can I just add fleetcharge to the system when necessary or do I need to use the same coolant that is already in the system?
