Even though you live in a very warm climate your engine and oil will still take much longer to come up to the proper operating temperature. This will result in more engine wear.

the thermostat is important. without one, I have seen cars over heat. the thermostat is important to controlling the flow of coolant through the radiator.

get a spill free funnel to properly bleed it otherwise you will get air trapped and it will overheat again making you think the tstat is bad.

it's not a normal car that can be easily bled. trust me

you will love the spill free funnel. I got mine from amazon.com but napa carries them and i'm sure any autozone can order it. best 20$ i've ever spent. I use it on any car i work on that needs coolant work.
