Prestone is fine if you get that make sure you go 50 water 50 antifreeze.

Oil, are you using synthetic now? If not use a conventional oil. As long as it is a brand oil you will be fine.

open your owners manual take a gander inside.
believe it or not it'll tell you EXACTLY how much you need of everything.

as for the other two it'd be an endless fight of opinion.
amsoil though if you want some of the best. 8 bucks a quart or so but you want the best pay for it.

You have a stock Honda with 200k. All you have to do is make sure oil is in that bitch at all times. And buy the cheapest green antifreeze at Walmart along with 4 quarts of oil that ISN'T from a gas station and you are golden. I use 10w30 in my cars.
