Here is a pic from my Hanynes Manual, to go along with the one that Stryker posted. I will admit, the drain plug is a little tricky to get at, but not too bad.
I will have to go with MeanGreen2â??s opinion with the Dexcool, I have personally seen the coolant passageways in GM vehicles that are almost half plugged. Not cool at all.
Hope this helps!

I'm not the one that said this should be Comedy Central...and I'm not the one that originally made the above statements about bull riding Mozarts...how anybody could do just about anything, w/ a how-to book...I think I'll go home and read about becoming the next Monet.

Ever seen a Taurus that came with DexCool installed from the factory? LOL...no wonder Ford got away from DexCool so quickly.

Actually dexcool is a fine coolant but it's not for every vehicle and it has certain "guidelines" to follow. It's not a good idea to just switch over to it, that's for sure. I'm pretty sure demonsvt uses it.

Here is a Pic of a GM 3.4L V6 head, with the good ol' dexcool right from the factory... I'm sure there are some people that have no issues with it, but from what I have seen, i definetly won't be using it   BTW - GM currently has a Class Action Lawsuit against them currently for this issue...

Guess Ford is just a whole lot smarter than GM...they tried it for just a year or so on a few of their product lines, then they switched right back to the good stuff. I'm with Ford on this. 
...and funny how I've probably changed 50+ intake gaskets on various late model GM vechicles [plus quite a few seeping head gaskets on low mileage/late model vehicles], but I can't recall the last leaky Ford intake gasket that needed replacement...coincidence?

Like intake manifold gaskets??? If so, talk to many duratec owners if you wanna hear about leaky gaskets.
