Need help - easy question
Alright, im trying to change my anti freeze in my 96 z28. Where is the drain for the radiator cap located on the car? I can't seem to find it -.-
Also, I was going to use Prestone anti-freeze, its a greenish color and its already mixed. Is that bad, because I heard you shouldn't change from the orange Dex-cool anti-freeze that comes with the car? Does it make a difference?

Nothing drains better or faster than pulling off the lower radiator hose.
When you buy pre-mixed anti-freeze, you're paying for 50% water. It's free from your tap, so mix your own.
And, I would stay with the same stuff that's in there now, Dex-cool. Dex-Cool, and other "long life" coolants got a bad rap because due to the "long life" designation, people would never change their coolant or flush the system. Corrosives can build up in Dex-Cool just as easily as conventional coolant, so if you treat it the same and change/flush regularly, you should have no problems. When you break down the cost versus how long you should keep it in the system, it's cheap insurance really.
