Where is the radiator drain plug?
Anyone have a pic showing where it is? I searched and I keep reading about opening the radiator drain plug for a coolant flush but i have no idea what it looks like. if someone can post a pic that would help me out lots. btw, my car is lowered to the ground...literally. so will i need a jack to get to it or something? i have have the stock mazda radiator.

You may need to remove the plastic underbelly cover. Mine is off so I can't remember. It is a wingnut on the bottom of the radiator. turn it so the nut goes inward towards the radiator.

as mentioned, jack the front of the car up a bit. i think the stock underpanel has a hole in teh vacinity of the drail plug, but its easier to just takt he underpanel off.... then the drain plug is easy to see, its right in the middle of the bottom of the rad. be careful, the stock plug is plastic and can get defromed/stripped easy if you dont put good pressure on it while you unscrew it.

does anybody happen to have the picture i took of it a while back? I am thinking of the plug on the engine block so that you can get all the coolant out of the engine instead of just out of the radiator. i personnaly lost all the pics i took to locate that and how to drain and repalce the tranny fluid.
just remember, about 1/2 your coolant is still in the block
