    Hello i'm new to the group.
    I need a little help locating ther draincock on my Radiator i've looked in
    all the obvious places and dont seem to be able to find it.
    It's winter now and i dont have a good enough mix of Anti-freeze in it and
    its been freezing the last couple of days.....i just wanna drain my full
    radiator and put the proper mixture in so it wont freeze.
    Any clue where its at? a detailed description or heck even a picture would
    be great

    Thanks in Advance
    Cliff

    It's on the right side of the radiator near the bottom. Just to be clear so
    there's no confusion, that's the passenger side. You'll find that it's much
    more accessible if you remove the plastic guard on that side from the bottom
    of the engine bay.

    Hi
    Hopefully your car is similar to ours and this is of use to you:

    On our 95 Integra it is next to the bottom radiator hose -- draw an
    imaginary line straight down from the left fan towards the bottom and
    an imaginary line from the bottom radiator hose towards the middle of
    the car. Where the two meet is where you find the draincock. Ours is
    located under an access cover -- it is a little hidden.

    The drain on ours looks like mickey ears that are a little close
    together. Don't snap it while turning, because it is made of plastic
    and will be a pain to get out without those mickey ears.
    Regards,.
