How to drain antifreeze - 2000 Ford Taurus

For most cars, set your heater temp control to hot, Make sure engine is cold. Open drain on bottom of rad, let it drain down, depending on model the overflow bottle should drain before the rad does, once its drained remove the rad cap and drain to completion. Make sure any spills are wiped up and no open containers of antifreeze are left sitting around. Cats and dogs love to drink it, but it will kill them if they do!

As far as I know there are no drains in the cooling systems any more. I took the bottom rad hose off and drained my Buick. They say you should not put water in car rads any more.

You can drain the antifreeze at the radiator drain plug, which is located on the lower front of the radiator on the drivers side. If your model doesn't have the drain plug, then remove the lower radiator hose and drain. Make sure you have something in place to catch the antifreeze and always drain antifreeze after the car has had time to cool off.

why are you draining the antifreeze it should be left in the engine permantly so what is the problem as to why you are draining the coolant

If you look at the bottom of your radiator you'll see a drain plug try to turn it to let the antifreeze drains or you can just loose the bottom hose that comes from the radiator this works too. Good luck

Usually there is a drain plug on the bottom of the radiator that will unscrew and you can drain the antifreeze that way. or you can disconnect the lower radiator hose and let the antifreeze run out of the hose.

At the bottom of the radiator there is a plastic knob this is the petcock drain plug it can be hard to see and turn so you may need to jack up the front of the car a little to crawl under the front and look at the bottom of the radiator but if you can reach it from the top and turn it with a pair of pliers do so that way this will allow you to drain the radiator, remove the radiator cap if it has one to allow air to pass through radiator, if it has no radiator cap remove the cap on the radiator expansion reserve tank, after all antifreeze is drained turn petcock drain plug back in till tight then refill raidiator with 50% water 50% anti freeze mixture, start car and top off antifreeze run the car or drive for ten minutes then top off antifreeze.

You'll have to drain it from the radiator or taking off the bottom radiator hose.

There is a 3/8" square head plug above the starter. This drains the left bank of the block and can be replaced with a 1/4" pipe valve.

well you dont actully have to drain the the block its self. There should be a drain on the radiator on either the right or left bottom side of the radiator.
