Changing engine coolant
I am about to change the coolant in my 01 power stroke and wanted to know if it is ok to use prestone antifreeze, and if I just drain the bottom of the radiator will that one plug drain everything, and how do I fill it?
Thanks for any info

Powerstroker;
I looked at those plugs but wondered what size wrench would fit them, they're square, right? And it looks like the one in the back, on the driver's side, is a square allen wrench-type fitting (you know- a square hole not a square head). They seem to be several of them around the bottom of the engine. It looked like one would dump water all over the starter. Am I looking at the right thing?
