Coolant flush??

How do I change my coolant?? Do I just drain it from the rad?? there should be a bolt or something I remove right?? if that's what I do. When all the coolant is drained, do I just fill it up with new coolant??

I remember that you do need the car running after filling the coolant to get rid of the air pockets.

I tried looking for a DIY on this, I didn't see one.

btw, I just use regular coolant right?? and not that long life stuff??

yea there should be a drain plug underneath the radiator, jus remove it and drain the coolant. then find where the thermostat is and dere should be a screw that you need to untighten and refill the coolant until it starts coming out from that screw, retighten the screw and start up your car. i jus drained the coolant from my brother's accord, and changed his thermostats. so yeah. if you have any question jus pm me.
