HELP block coolant drain plug

I remember seeing a post on draining the coolant and it showing where it's located but I can't seem to find it again and I want to change it out today.
Thanks in advance

make sure to open the heater core valve by turning key on and setting temp to max hot

On burping- follow book directions of running without cap- holding 2000 rpm thru 2 fan cycles etc
air bubbles are a drag~

remove the res bottle and rinse well

Thanks for the info. but I don't have a book.Won't the air bubbles just release themselves through the overflow?I was just going to burp it by the old fashion way of squeezing the hose.

ahahahHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO
wow thanks I needed a good laugh,,thats a different type closed loop style system
thats not how it works on the TL system AT ALL
please see the diy for coolant change or 105 service details or owner book

basically:
You fill the res bottle to half, radiator to full- start engine- heater on- turn cabin fan on
let it warm up then a few sets of 2000 rpm till fan cycles on and off, rad cap off
ck level and refill as air works thru and out top of rad

cap on, idle temp good thru fan cycle, engine off
Ck levels in res and radiator when its cold next morning, top off rad, and res bottle to half

an owner manual can be downloaded for free when you register with www.owner.acura.com
you can see your cars recall history and compliance, learn many operating tricks
safely store the radio nav codes, and get the manual

Everyone should register there and with acura care to ck recalls,
usa cars 1 800 382 2238x5
canada cars 1-888-9acura9 and you have a different website
