How do you change antifreeze in a 1998 Ford Taurus?

Answer 1

radiator should have a drain plug on one side or the other near bottom may resemble a wing nut loosen plug to drain radiator when finished draining tighten back up add new antifreeze if you dont buy the predelluted antifreeze you must mix it at 50:50 ratio with water it will drain quicker if you leave radiator cap off when drain plug is open also i would crank the car and flush out system this can be acheived by using a water hose just open radiator cap stick water hose in car and turn it on let car run while doing this it will flush out the coolant that is engine block some models also have some kind of "vent" that is supposed to be open during this process however it can be done without opening it but may cause air to get in cooling system system i have never had any problem with this i have a1996 mustang i did mine today with no problems i did not open "vent"
