Might I suggest a full tank of premium? The regular fuel will ignite sooner with more heat, and actually cause some of the conditions you describe. The 2.5L engine has very high compression and detonation is a problem.

Using Antifreeze increases the cooling capabilities of the radiator and engine and raises the boiling temperature at the same time. Water is not reccomended except for an emergency.
