I cannot speak for all models, but my 1989 Buick Century has a drainage valve located near the bottom of the radiator on the driver side of the car, and can sometimes require pliers to open. It's usually easiest to look for it from under the car....Thanks

I was told by my local Buick Dealer a lot of cars have done away with drain valves because the larger debri could not escape through the valve and would remain trapped in the cooling system. They advised me to remove the lower radiator hose. They informed me this way was better for the fact that more radiator deposit residue was able to be evacuated from the cooling system as well.

I can't find the plug to flush my radiator? Where is it?

It is either on the passenger side or driver side, lower corner of the radiator-it has a plastic bolt, and you usually need to remove a lower panel to gain access to it to drain it.

How do i drain the old coolant from radiator. does the drain plug comes out or just turns to one direction. thanks

hi,, yeah you just turn it out, right to tighten, left to slacken, remember to remove your cap and leave a hose of running water flowing through the radiator to help wash out all the old stuff.

PS.. IF cant find the radiator drain plug, remove the button radiator hose..

I have a 1995 buick century. i want to flush radiator, but i couldn't located the draining valve. i need a help, if you can locate the draining valve for radiator.

Hi, if there is not a petcock or plug at the bottom of the radiator, you can just remove the lower radiator hose to drain the coolant. Many cars do not have drain plugs. Please let me know if you have more questions and thanks for using FixYa.

Where is my radiator drain plug for 2002 buick century

Generally, when one wants to evacuate the system of the radiator fluid, one can remove the bottom hose in order to quickly drain the system, much faster and more minerals comeout that way than if you use the drain plug which is very small.
