When draining my coolant do I remove the cap from reservoir or radiator or both?

Hi,

You can remove both. It will allow air to enter the system faster and drain things faster as well.

First, here is a link you may find helpful. It explains, in general, the procedure for draining and flushing the system.

If you look at the attachments below, they include the directions specific to this vehicle for draining, refilling, and bleeding the system.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
