If you run a mixture of 50/50 coolant water, and a 13 lb cap, you will raise the boiling point up about 250* F. The coolant also keeps the system from corroding. Aluminum and iron, with circulating water, tend to cause electrolosis in the system, which will form nasty deposits thru out. Deposits prevent the heat from transfering to the coolant.
Cheap enough....change coolant, thermostat, and cap every 2 years. Flush out system real good. A 1 hour job. I recommend ethylene-glycol (old green stuff), or Toyota dealer stuff.
