However, there's no guarantee of its exact location without visual inspection. The best approach is to:
1. Consult a repair manual: A factory service manual or a Chilton's/Haynes manual for your specific year and model will have diagrams showing the exact location. This is the most reliable method.
2. Look for a low-profile bolt near the oil pan: It's typically near the passenger side, but not directly on the oil pan itself. The drain plug will likely be smaller than the oil drain plug.
3. Be cautious: When you find what *appears* to be the drain plug, double-check to make sure it doesn't look like an oil pan bolt or another critical fastener.
Important Note: Draining coolant can be messy. Have a suitable drain pan ready, and be prepared for the coolant to be hot if the engine has recently been running. Allow the engine to cool completely before attempting this.
