How to

I've done a few searches and came up empty handed; so I thought I'd ask. I also checked out Monsta's sticky, but to no avail. How do you change/drain all of the fluid from the cooling system? I know they radiator drain plug has alot to do with it, but I just don't want to miss anything.

Just opening the drain on the radiator will get about 5 gallons out. For the rest you have to pull the drain plugs out of the block.

One is on the passenger side right above the starter, and the drivers side plug is straight back from the oil filter head.

This web page is pictures of the drain plugs.
