If you want to simply remove the existing coolant and replace it with new, the procedure is very simple. If the cooling system needs to be flushed, do that first and then follow these steps to change coolant.
1. Uncap the coolant reservoir. Open lower drain plug. It is located on the lower edge of the radiator on the driver's side of the vehicle. Turn the plug several times to open the plug fully. It is made of plastic, so be careful when using any tools to turn it.
2. After the coolant has completely drained, close the drain plug.
3. Pour 50/50 water/coolant mix into the coolant reservoir. It will take a while for the reservoir to empty into the engine cooling system.
4. After adding approximately one gallon, start the engine. This will pull more coolant into the system.
5. Continue adding coolant until the level reaches and remains at the "full" level.
6. Cap the coolant reservoir.
