Believe it or not, I've been kind of thinking about flushing the system, but
don't really know where to start.  I don't suppose that there's a drain
plug, like oil? ^_^

Another possibly stupid question, assuming that I drain my coolant, how much
should I put back in?  A whole container of antifreezee with an equal amount
of water?

All the best,
