2GR-FSE Coolant Drain
I tried to do a drain and fill of engine coolant (hit my 9 years, only 65K miles) on my 2015 IS350 F-Sport. Drained radiator just fine (got 3.5 quarts out), but couldn't find the engine coolant drain valve. It's not like any of the YouTube videos with the 2GR-FSE engine, and diagrams showing it on the driver side of the engine (after removing the entire bottom plastic skid plate) have to be wrong... It's just not there.
How have you drained the engine block coolant on the 2GR-FSE engine? Do I have to take it to a shop and get it flushed from the top? Surely a drain valve exists on this engine block!

Drain on each side is at about the middle of the block not exactly easy to get to. Looks like this
