I have never heard of more than one type of Honda coolant, and it's pre-mixed. Prestone will work fine when mixed with the correct amount of distilled water. Whatever coolant you use, make sure it doesn't contain any silicates (like I know Xerex does, Prestone does not).

the premixed coolant cost more.

Just get the concentrate which is cheaper and goto the market and pick up a gallon of distilled water.
