You should be good to go with that. Here, from the Peak website:
Link: http://www.peakantifreeze.com/peak_longlife.html
PEAK Long Life Antifreeze & Coolant features a long life coolant technology that is compatible for use in all automobiles and light duty trucks, regardless of make, model, year or original antifreeze color.

From their F.A.Q.*
E. Is PEAK Global LifeTime Antifreeze & Coolant compatible with other brands of extended life antifreeze?
Yes, PEAK Global LifeTime Antifreeze’* unique and patented technology is fully compatible with and can be used to top-off other extended life coolants including General Motor’* DEX-COOL and the new Ford and Chrysler extended life coolants. However, to realize the guaranteed LifeTime of cooling system protection provided by PEAK Global LifeTime Antifreeze, a complete cooling system flush and fill is required

You're fine. I use that in every car I work on. It'* basically the G05 coolant coolant that Ford and Chrysler uses. It is compatible with Dex, as well as the "old green stuff". As always, be certain to flush the system well.
Edit - Prestone also sells it.

Yeah, that'* been covered a few times here.
Take it out and use brake cleaner. Stuff an old rag inside and then spray a whole bunch of brake cleaner in there. Shake it a round to agitate with the rag and or use a stick to push the rag around and scrub the inside. Empty, dry. All Clean.
