draining antifreeze procedure question
The FSM says there's 2 drain plugs on the engine block, one on each side of the block. TSB says for routine antifreeze change, there's no need to drain the block, just the radiator.
I was wondering why I can't find any mention of these 2 plugs in any how-to writeups on .org? Wouldn't it simplify the flushing procedure necessary to change over to silicate-free antifreeze?

Hmm... i think VQ has something like 9qts... Not looking forward to the "flood" when I remove the plugs. haha.
Alright, Imma look for the 2 plugs this weekend. What kinda sealer should I use when re-installing?
