I have a 2004 Xterra with a Super Charger engine. What is the proper way to change the coolant? where is the drain plug? does anybody have pictures that show this?

Thanks,

Should be at the bottom of your radiator.

Just put a collection pan under it (there's going to be a lot) and let it all drip out until there's no more coming out.

who needs a collection pan when you just park over a storm drain :)

anyone have any input on the Prestone Flush Kits that you hook up to your garden hose?? I have heard positive and negative things about them...

you could do the same thing with the garden hose without the prestone kit. All we do here at the garage I work at is use a hose and run water through the radiator and then pop off a hose going into the engine and run it through there...let it drain and then fill it back up.

LOL i dont think thats very good for the enviornment

Who needs a storm drain when you've got a thirsty dog? :)

or a thirsty lawn......

I have taken a flashlight to the bottom of the radiator with no luck,
I removed the pan that's right below the oil filter to get to the bottom of the radiator still am having trouble finding to drain plug. A photo or diagram would be a big help.

Thanks !

undo the bottom hose..... that is your drain.. LOL

Stop It Ha Ha !
Not Really... Where Is The Drain Plug?
Your Not Serious .... Are You ?

is it bad if u never drain your coolent i just fillthat sucker up every 6 mouths or soo lol

Look for a phillips screw drain that is flat on top.

thats how i do it when i drain the coolant...... just pull the hose it will be alright...

pulling the hose is the fastest/messiest way to drain it..

just make sure you put a bucket under there and you wil be alright....
