I was doing the ol flush & fill on my X and took out the drainage plug on my radiator and then went and ate lunch. When I came back out I pulled the drain plugs off of the block and there was hardly any drainage from them. Will all of the coolant drain out through the radiator? , i was parkred in my driveway and it slopes down toward the engine. Also what kind of antifreeze do most of you use? i live in FL. so I just used the prestone premixed. Also is it normal for the block drainage plugs to be tight at only half way in. Thats how they were when i took them off to from the factory.

How did you get the block bolts out? I tried about a month ago and had not luck.

Thanks,

I sprayed them down good with blaster waited about half an hour and then used an impact rachet with an extention on it. It was a royal pain in the ass. Next time they will stay in.

might want to try adding some water wetter to your radiator...You can read more about it in the link below...

You can also buy it at most Pep Boys stores...

Presumably you drained the same amount it took to fill it back up again.
