How can I access the engine drain block plug? Under the vehicle or just under the hood? What does it look like? Thanks!

From underneath, backside of block, in the middle, above oil pan gasket surface ...it's the only thing that looks anything like a drain port.

Thanks a lot! That work out great, however I dont think it was worth the time and effort to drain coolant of the engine drain block, it only spitted out 1/4 cup. That drain block was a tight space. I got a half bucket of coolant of the radiator drain cock, which I will just only do next time.

I've never drained mine but 1/4 cup sure doesn't sound right...was the cap removed?

^ no, that sounds about right. You're only draining the remnant from the back of the block because of the rearward tilt of the motor.

Really? Wow. If so, sounds like the most worthless drain plug location ever designed.
