Need help locating radiator drain plug for 1990 CRX.
Would appreciate someone sending back location. Want to flush radiator
and re-fill myself and not a shop.
Thank you

 

Passenger side rear (bottom) of radiator; a white plastic wingnut.

some aftermarket radiators might not have one. in that case, just undo
the bottom hose and let it drain that way.

That's probably a better way anyhow. The drain plug or white plastic
wingnut thingie is rather small and made of plastic that gets brittle
with age. If backflushing is on the agenda, the large bottom hose
orifice gives better access.

when diluting the antifreeze, make sure you use distilled water, not
stuff out of the faucet - its mineral content accelerates corrosion.
