Question about antifreeze flushing? Which heater hose?
I used the more accessible of the two (top one), and flushed with pure water. Then I added the Prestone Cleaner (it'* the one that says "for neglected systems", and you leave it in for 5 or so hours of running time). I ran it for about 5 hours over the course of 3 days, and flushed out for about 15 minutes. I then added some all-makes all-models coolant, and bled the system. It'* about as clean as one could hope for, and started out with some nasty looking Dexmud.
One more question, Does this car have a drain plug in the radiator?
I see what looks like a plug/drain in the bottom of the radiator on the driver side.
Havent see one quite like that before.
Anybody remove that or use it to drain the radiator?

Yep, that'* the one. Looks sort of like a plastic bolt? It is a bit hard to reach, but is not hard to take out once you do reach it. It makes a bit of a mess as it runs down various wires and supports, so have a large pan.

I've always just pulled the upper radiator hose, and stuck a hose on full blast in the raditator and let the car run fo a while until I got nothing but clean water,.. Make sure you're watching your temps though.
