Your cooling system should not need any additives to keep the temperature within range, and the mix ratio has more to do with anti-freeze and anti-corrosive properties than with operating temperatures.

80C driving and 100C idling sounds like a lack of airflow at idle... Are you sure that the fan clutch is OK???
