Reply to "Where to drain coolant?"

Randy,

When I filled my completely empty stock cooling system with water/antifreeze 50/50 mix, it took 27 litres (6 gallons) But your system will not be completely empty, so you will probably need about 2 gallons of antifreeze.
I dont like to drain the system at the radiator because it will fill the front valance with coolant. The water evaporates, but the antifreeze does not. It just crystallises and makes a mess. I like to loosen one of the hoses under the car. You dont have to take it off.
