I have a 2001 Olds Intrique, it has 99,000 miles and iit is time to change the anit-freez. Does anyone know of a tool that fits the radiator drain on this car?

Thanks.

THat is a weird little plug on that one. IT should not be that tight, so maybe you can work it loose with your fingers. It only rotates 90 degrees and the fluid should be flowing.

To be honest, if you break the drain you will be replacing the radiator more than likely. I would suggest removing the lower radiator hose and draining the radiator that way. You can place a water hose in the fill port and flush it as much as you want.
