How do you flush the radiator on 2000 Chevy Malibu?

Answer 1

On the Chevy Malibu 2000, it is tricky to flush your radiator. It appears there is no drain plug at all, but there is. You have to look in front of your radiator on the drivers side, close to the very bottom of the front right-side of the radiator. You will see a little white protruding cylindrical plastic mechanism , which you need a square bit to fit in and twist it, to drain your radiator.

I just flushed mine after replacing intake gaskets,drain radiator,when empty put a garden hose in coolant tank and flush until clear. add coolant flush, and flush some more. when system is clean, you can close drain plug on radiator add coolant bring up to proper level.

Yep, that is where it is, turn it one quarter turn quarter clockwise ( lefty lucy ). Mine stuck in, it pulls out about 1 half inch. Once drained push it back in and one quarter turn to right.
