Default Help with my Water

I am trying to take out about 1/2 qt of anti freeze from my cooling system so I can add an additive. I can't figure out how to get it out without taking off the lower hose.

It is filled right to the top & I can't get any kind of hose down the filler.

HELP

There is a plastic drain plug at the bottom of the radiator. You should see rubber/plastic tube sticking down through the splash shield ... just trace it straight up. I had to apply quite a bit of force. The good thing about the plastic drain plug is that you can twist it shut at any time.

The other point is a drain bolt near the oil filter.

Check out the DIY on coolant flush.

yeah, use the plastic drain plug it's probably the easiest to do and find.
