Re: Can't find the coolant drain plug???
 

If I pour it down my drain I will kill my septic system (oh the joys of
living in the country)

I think Autozone will take it around here, for that reason. I will find out
soon as I have two vehicles needing a coolant change before winter really
sets in.

Normally I just store it in clearly marked bottles away from the reach of
children and wait for the yearly free township hazardous waste drop off day,
when you can drop off your old paint cans, computer monitors, etc.

The grass grows greener over the septic tank.
My friends do that, too but that requires reading the news paper,
and I can't force myself to read that commie rhetoric.

It's true around here in central CA. Any sewer line that runs to a
wastewater treatment plant is fine; call and check first if you like.
The toilet thing works okay, as does the garage sink, or if the misses
will let you, down the kitchen sink.

What's not OK is dumping it down a storm drain or in a hole in the
backyard. And if you spill any on the driveway, mop it up with paper
towels then wash what's left down well, as it is very toxic to animals.
