Ok, so you should probably flush your coolant and you're confused as to where to start. There is a drain on the bottom of the passenger side of the radiator that will drain the coolant. The next thing is that you will have to decide if you want to clear the heater core because coolant will be in the heater core. For me, I just left that coolant in and tightened the drain screw and started filling with the right type of coolant. Everyone has a different idea of what kind of coolant to use, but I personally just used PEAK antifreeze/coolant that can be mixed with any type of coolant. Good luck!
