Humm... It's forward of the oil sending unit (pressure sensor) on my '03 2RZ (behine oil pressure line "T" in pic).
cant find block drain plug 2.7......help
I am ready to do my first coolant change on my 98 2.7 4wd.
I have done a lot of reading and have not been able to find my coolant drain on my block.
Am hoping a few of you have done this and can help. I see the oil pressure sensor and 2 bolts nearby on the passenger side of th..e block. I don't see any pet**** with a nozzle to attach a hose to drain coolant.
I hope its not just a bolt that will drain coolant all over my block and suspension.
Am hoping some of you can provide detailed info or maybe a pic of the plug.
If it is just a bolt then please let me know because I am ready to get it done.

Unfortunately its a bolt you remove and it just sprays where it wants, in front of the oil filter housing on the side of the block as pictured in Ryans post.
Cool.
Thanks for the help guys.
Heres a pic of mine on the right side of the block. There are 2 bolts.
Would like to loosen the correct one.
This is an angled pic looking from about the oil filter area. One of the bolts is about the 9 oclock from the oil pressure sender. The other is about 11 oclock.
If I am using Ryans pic as a reference based on bolt size looks like the larger one is the one to loosen (at 11 oclock?).

Well I got impatient this afternoon with nothing to do so I drained my radiator then cracked open the one at 11 oclock.
Coolant came pouring out so I figured thats the correct one. Good idea to have a GIANT drain pan cause the stuff goes everywhere!
In case anyone runs into this the one at 11 oclock is a 17mm and the one at about 9 oclock is 14mm. I left the 14mm one alone. I guess this could be the correct one but I opted for the other larger bolt.
Anyway drained the old green coolant, flushed it twice with distilled water and filled with Toyota red stuff.
Good to go.
Thanks for everyones help.
I will probably start a new thread with the above info because I searched and searched Google but never did find a definitive answer to this.
Gonna make sure whoever comes along in the same situation after me will now have an answer. :waytogo:
