Ensure you use, Ethylene Glycol Antifreeze - do not use alcohol type -
I just like the red colour of Toyota's instead of the yellow or green etc.

I used regular Prestone 50/50 for years on my 2JZ with ZERO issues, and have used it in every single car I have ever owned.

If your not in a region of the USA where freezing is an issue, I normally run 1 Gal of Prestone 50/50, 1 bottle of Water Wetter from Redline, and the rest distilled water. Keeps things cool, and the pump lubricated. I have yet to see a temp over 180* even on the hottest days.
