Looked High And Low

I want to change the anti-freeze in my 2.4 , but I cant seem to find the radiator petcock drain can someone point me in the right direction? Is it easier to pull the lower rad hose?

[2fst4u]

what i did was to pull the lower radiator hose. then, i put the hose hookup on the back of the engine by the firewall, like it says to

[jabartram]

front of radiator bottom right hand corner, use a quarter drive ratchet and extension to turn it and a pair of pliers to carefully pull it out till it starts to drain.

[freakout]

It only turns a 1/4 turn. Don't keep turning it. It will have to be replaced, personel experience on a 3.4

i couldnt get mine out, i pulled the hose

[hopsinger]

Thanks for the help ,but I'll just pull the lower hose to possiblily save me some grief . A quick question .... do I have to go with " Dex-cool" if I completly drain and flush?

[freakout]

If you do change over to regular antifreeze make sure you remove all the dex cool. The 2 products don't mix well, it will form a sludge.

thanks for the info I'll go with the Dex to be safe
and thanks again
