Engine block coolant plug locations? (1 Viewer)

Were you able to drain all 4 gal?

No I was only able to get about 3.5 gallons. Since I have a MY2000 that uses the red concentrate I just added the full two gallons of that and topped with more distilled water to get the proper mix. One suggestion to get more fluid out is to hand squeeze some of the tubes. When I did this I was able to force some more liquid towards the drains.

Dumb question for the engine block drain plugs… they will back all the way out, right? Mine is weeping via the little metal tube and I can’t get any more torque on the drain plug. Going to try replacing the drain plug before I shear the little guy in half. Or maybe I’ll just back it out and see if some gunk got trapped.

Thinking I can hook up a hose and collect the coolant for re use and just drain that side of the engine block. Not planning on draining the radiator.
