location of drain plugs

[inkmanmac]

Any one know exactly where these drain plugs (for coolant) are ? , i know there are 2 somewhere by the each of the exhaust manifold, for the life of me i cant find them and if there are by the manifold how the hell are you supposed to reach them ?

Thanks

Please provide car info - make, model year and mileage. If your car is relatively old, then it would be better just to drain the coolant from the radiator. The engine block drain plugs would probably be hard to remove by now and may even cause a leak in the future if not handled properly.

The information about coolant servicing is in one of the stickies- Maxima/I30/I35 FAQ. Here is a direct link for 4th Gen Maxima and should also apply to 96-99 I30.

its a 2001 i30t, I already tried draining the coolant through the radiator but was able to get maybe a gallon of coolant( i believe the engine holds 9 qrts)

Thanks
