Hi guys,
I have been scouring the forum looking for a DIY guide (Steps) on Coolant change but didn't have luck. I would really appreciate if someone could point me to the right thread.
I need to replace my coolant after 5 years.

Thanks in advance!

It's easy-----use approved fluids(325.0)---loosen overflow cap---loosen radiator coolant drain plug and drain----when empty tighten drain plug-----now do the same thing for the crankcase drain plug-----then go back and make sure the overflow is empty.

Now refill(check manual) with a 50 50 solution---then go get a lamb chop with the grand kids!!

Thank You for the quick input. Sorry if thats a thick question to ask but where can i locate the drain plug?
Secondly, do i need to open an additional hose to thoroughly bleed the old coolant?

Your help is much appreciated

do i need to open an additional hose to thoroughly bleed the old coolant?--NO


but where can i locate the drain plug?---on the drivers side bottom of radiator and drivers side of the block!!


I know you and others will take this the wrong way, however, it sounds like you should go to a radiator shop let them do the work while you have a dough nut and coffee or play with the grandkids---why get dirty, greasy, brake things, curse, bump your head scrape your fingers, ruin your shoes and get hot coolant all over you---why!!!!
