Radiator Flush Help-

I have a 2000 Grand Am SE V6 and it's been leaking coolant for the past few months. I checked the oil and it's fine (no coolant in it)

My question is, can you flush the radiator yourself? And is there a drain plug somewhere? My husband insists that it has to be taken to the shop to do this and there is no drain plug.....

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to AF.

Thier is a drain though usually they are stuck and can break trying to open.

On the drivers side of the radiator,
bottom corner a white round piece with a square hole in it.
A 1/4" drive will open it.

If yours doesnt have that square hole it could have a wingnut looking part, these like to break

It drains straight out the bottom

Dang, so he probably can't do it! He would probably break it.....

Thanks for your help!!! I have tons more questions but I'm searching the forums for answers.

Buying a Grand Am = biggest mistake ever!
