    Need help locating radiator drain plug for 1990 CRX.
    Would appreciate someone sending back location. Want to flush radiator
    and re-fill myself and not a shop.
    Thank you

  2. Passenger side rear (bottom) of radiator; a white plastic wingnut.

    some aftermarket radiators might not have one. in that case, just undo
    the bottom hose and let it drain that way.

    That's probably a better way anyhow. The drain plug or white plastic
    wingnut thingie is rather small and made of plastic that gets brittle
    with age. If backflushing is on the agenda, the large bottom hose
    orifice gives better access.

    when diluting the antifreeze, make sure you use distilled water, not
    stuff out of the faucet - its mineral content accelerates corrosion.
