coolant block drain bolts..where?

[Jim_Chow]

Anyone know where the second block drain bolt is? I'm trying to replace the coolant on Friday, so it would be good to know ASAP. I found what I think is the first one (driver's side underneath the exhaust manifold kind of above the rear left corner of the oil pan [a small gold-colored bolt w/ exit duct/elbow bending down can be seen from underneath with skid plate #2 removed]). The FSM shows crude diagrams of another one w/ a tube leading from it. Where is it? Are either of these accessible from the top of the vehicle or does one have to go underneath (or remove the front wheels) to loosen the bolts?

Also, does anyone know the capacity of the radiator (so I know how much coolant is in the block/heater cores when estimating my 50%+ mixture). BTW, my dealer said they had the SLLC but I opted for the LLC since this is the 60K service I'm performing, and the coolant will have to be drained at 90K for the t-belt and water pump replacement, anyways (I figure).

The second plug is on the opposite side of the engine block from the one you found (symetrical). The FSM diagram is jacked and shows the second side in a "see-thu the block" image that makes it appear to have a tube and be attached to the dipstick.

A better diagram for the "Engine Coolant Drain Unions" is on EM-111 top of the page.
