Coolant Drain

Do you have to remove the plastic cover under the car to get to the drain plug on the radiator? Time to change the coolant.

What do you guys do with your coolant? I need to find a place to take mine when I change it.

I just had my tech do it at NISSAN. There was a machine that sucked all of it out and put brand new neon green fluid in

Hilbe-just take it to a dealer or Jiffy Lube or something and I've heard that the local spots have to dispose of it for you.

Its not too expensive to just have the dealer do it. Also be careful our cooling system is pretty much a pain in the *** to bleed. We get alot of people come in that try to do it themselves and get air pockets in the heater core.
