Coolant Change - Questions
I wanted to change my engine coolant, but I had some questions:
1) Maybe I'm blind, but where is the Air Relief Plug? For the life of me, I can't seem to find it.
2) In the Electronic Service Manual, it says to remove the drain plugs on both sides of the cylinder block. Over here, however,...

...the person who did the write-up says you can either remove the very-hard-to-get-to drain plugs or don't. Is it okay to just leave those on?
3) If I don't remove the drain plugs, about how much total new coolant will I be adding back (including the reservoir tank)?
Thanks in advance.
Peace.

You must have a haynes maanual because I could not find the air relief valve either. I di not remove the block plug because they're not easy to get to. If I remember right I used arround a gallon and 1/4. I replaced both hoses and I took the tsta housing off and got quite a bit out. The only coolant that isn't out is the heater core and some in the block. Buy 1 gal and mix 50/50 in another bucket and fill,run the car with the rad cap off so you can see the level in rad. Hope this helps.
