    Anyone know where the "Coolant" drain plug is located on the BLOCK not on the radiator on a 2011 V-6 4.0 Tacoma? I swear I've seen it but now I can't find it!!?

    No doubt I'll find out someday when I do my first coolant change, but am curious to know how much is drained from the block - both sides combined?

    I haven't measured but it is more than I though would come out and completes the drain.
    I access both sides through the wheel wells using socket extensions. A bright flashlight also helps.

    I just changed my wife's 1.8 corolla coolant and measured one quart out of the block drain.
