I'm getting ready to do a little routine maintenance on my 2WD 2004 Toyota Tacoma with the 2.4 motor.
I'm planning to change my coolant and it seems like most people say that you shouldn't expect to get *all* of the coolant out by draining the radiator and even opening the block drain plug. *Most* people think you're only going to get about, maybe, 80%-90% because the heatercore will still have some in it that's just not going to drain out.
I'm wondering why it won't drain? Is it just a gravity thing in that it sits lower than other stuff and that's why it won't drain, or...??? Should I lift one end of the vehicle to try and get it to drain?
Thank you,
Ed
