Re: coolant capacity?

Okay I thought this would be easier than it was.

Is the drain cock the little plastic piece you can turn at the far corner bottom of the passenger side? Has a little fitting on it that looks like you could attach some tubing or something. I loosened it a couple of turns and after some leakage around it, eventually I got the coolant to come out of the fitting:



But at this rate after 15 minutes it had only drained about an inch into a gallon milk jug. Is this supposed to be an all day draining process?



Ultimately I got impatient and loosened it some more, in doing so coolant sprayed everywhere with every turn as it leaks out between parts of the drian area. Eventually I got it loosened enough to where it would shoot straight down into an oil pan, and at a fast enough rate that the radiator was drained in a few minutes. Only a gallon came out though.
