G-05 is similar to Dexcool only different. It has some silicate, in fact more silicate than the blue stuff, and uses a different starting point (sebacic acid rather than carbonic acid for Dexcool) to achieve a similar result (organic acid based inhibitor, especially good for aluminum). I would consider them mostly compatible, but the G-05 is shorter lived, and the silicate is said to be more hostile to water pump seals. That said, silicate free Dexcool will erode the impeller of a poorly designed (read Chrysler V-8) water pump.
At this point I see no reason not to stick with G-05. It's good, it's already in there (limiting the amount of flushing you need to do), and it's convenient for you.
