Coolant Flush

I'd like to flush the cooling system on my '02 CL500, or at least drain and refill the radiator with new coolant. However, I don't see a radiator drain plug. Can anyone help.

Sounds like you need to not do it since u can not find the plug. Take it to a certified mechinic, they will do it for ya for $60. Dealer charges about $130.
Besides, Antifreez flush is due at 50,000 miles. If you have less, why change it now !!

Thanks for advise, but I prefer to do the job myself at this time. Actually, MB will do the job for free as it is included in maintenance under the warranty, but again. I choose to do it myself for various reasons.
