where is the coolant drain plug indicated on the owner's manual ?
 
I'm trying to flush/change the coolant, but I couldn't locate the drain plug, can you help? The manual says 10.6 liter with reservoir, i have problem draining 5 liter with the drain valve open, how can i have the 50/50 mix of coolant?

thanks.

i too asked this question...i was able to find one of the plugs but couldn't find the other.....you have to remove the splash guards from under the car to see it....if you look near the crank pulley and alternator (around that area), you'll see a plug (actually a screw) on the engine block itself....i needed an extension on my socket wrench to reach it, but if you unlug that, that should for the most part drain all the fluid out i guess....i could never find the other plub though!! hope that helps a lil!!

coolant is going to take a hella long time to drain if you can't find the other plug. I could never find it and it took me about 45 min to drain everything
