Drain plugs on 3.6 block?
After almost eight years I swapped out the dexcool on the car. Refilled it five times with distilled water before it didn't show color. I know the V8s have block drains - do the 3.6s also?
I jacked it up and darn near had the tires off the ground before I could fit my fat head under there and not a lot of room to see the block. Drains would certainly be easier after ramping it.

I think I flushed mine at the 5 year point; brakes as well.

Rolled 16k on the odometer as of Saturday morning and the Dexcool came out looking like it was still new too. Yeah, brake fluids next.
No drains?
