G12/13 has better lubricating properties over long periods of time, which is why they use it in what you always hear as "lifetime fill." This is due to the phosphates in the coolant.
Pros: better lubricating properties

There's Zerex (Valvoline) Asian car coolant (prediluted) that's made in 2 colors, blue and red, and it's supposed to be compatible
Pros: compatible, two colors
Call Valvoline (Zerex), which makes both green and Asian coolants. Most likely the green you bought is not like the green sold 20 years ago.
Use the specified coolant I would use the specified coolant for the vehicle in which you drive and always use distilled/deionized water foreign or domestic! The cuts down on deposits and electrolysis from corrosion from using tap/ground water and or the incorrect coolant.
