I need to change my anti-freeze and the owner's manual says to "remove the drain bolt from the cylinder block". Where is this located? How much anti-freeze will I leave in if I don't remove the drain bolt? I have a '99 CRV.

 

Drain bolt located by the Engine Id number.

 

Thanks for the suggestion, but you're not talking to an expert mechanic here. I don't know where the engine id is located. How much anit-freeze will drain out after removing this bolt?

 

See if it's here:

that's the one. Make sure it's cool, because you'll burn your hands as that stuff comes gushing out.

 

Great pic ALF, thanks, even I can find that. How much anti-freeze will drain out of the engine when I remove the drain bolt?
