radiator drain plug Bing images

There should be a drain valve at bottom of radiator looking under car it will be in the corner on one side of rad. Not directly under but on the bottom facing the engine

Not all radiators have a drain plug, if theres a drain plug its located at the bottom of the radiator, depending on the model car or truck it will be locate on the backside of the radiator facing the engine , look on the rightside and then the leftside and in the middle, if this one doesnt have a drain then just remove the lower radiator hose to drain the radiator, sometimes its hard to see the drain so ook closely. good day

hi,, yeah you just turn it out, right to tighten, left to slacken, remember to remove your cap and leave a hose of running water flowing through the radiator to help wash out all the old stuff.

PS.. IF cant find the radiator drain plug, remove the button radiator hose..

Facing the front of the car, the drain plug is at the bottom of the radiator, right hand side, between the support rail and the radiator. There is a hole in the support rail to access this drain plug ( + ) style plug - unscrew counter-clockwise.

YOU CANT THE PLUG BECOMES BRITTLE WITH AGE SO MOST RADIATOR REPAIR SHOPS WILL CARRY A REPLACEMENT TAPS

May be true, some car manufacturers save $5 by not having one. Have to remove lower hose to dump radiator.

if you cant find the drain plug you can pull the lower radiator hose to flush it

The radiator drain plug is on passenger side of the radiator tank at the bottom. You can use pliers to loosen it. Be careful that it does NOT come out, only loosen it enough to drain the anti freeze.

The textbook method is to remove the drain plug on the bottom of the radiator.

Most drain plug ismake of inexpensive nylon/plastic and it may fall apart while you turn it.

The professional method is to loosen the lower radiator clamp and drop to lower radiator hose.
