Is there a "how to change coolant" thread if so can you direct me in the right place? If not can someone help me out? I am not mechanically inclined but I would like to do what I can to save money. -Thank-

well you can drain the radiator by removing your lower main hose, or sometimes theres a drain plug at the botton of the radiator, but if you want to drain the entire coolant system you need 2 bring it to a shop that has a machine that flushes out the entire system.

The factory service manual has a pretty in-depth section on how to change your coolant.

Here's a link to the maintenance portion of the FSM for your vehicle...2000 Pathfinder Maintenance Manual
