Where is the coolant drain plug for engine?

I can't seem to find anything in my Hayes book about where the drain plug is for the engine block on the 3.8. Can someone help me out here?

For Coolant you drain that through the radiator. Look on the lower driver side of the radiator, on the engine side. Should see a petcock there, that will drain coolant.

IF you are trying to drain the oil, the drain plug is on the oil pan.

Those are your only two options.

Don't forget Dex-Cool is different from regular coolant.

If you just need to drain the radiator that's on the bottom of the radiator on the passenger side. If you need to drain the block as well, you'll find the block drain plugs on the left and right hand sides of the block slightly above the oil pan rails by the middle of the engine.
