Do you have you air damn on the car (little black plastic on the bottom of the car under the radatior)? Took mine off it ran hot took me forever to figure out why. The high fans would kick on when it hit 230* and cool the car and this was when it was 2* outside

Go in and specifically request this drain.
Also, the sensor is cake to put in (do it when the car is cold). You can do it yourself I'm sure.

Thats BS. Take it to a dealer. They need only remove the knock sensor on the passenger side AND/OR the plug on the driver's side, symmetrical to the knock sensor on the other side to drain the block.

yea I can do the knock sensor myself, what will it do though if you take the knock sensor out? how will that make it drain more fluid?
