Best way to drain coolant?

[Skyhigh]

What is the best way to drain the coolant on the old 900? Cleanest and best access. Also when refilling is there an airplug to remove?

Thanks.

I unhooked the 2 hoses in the rear cooler by the snowflap then lifted the front of the sled via a chain to the roof of the garage. Worked for me.

Shoud be a drain line on the bottom of your engine. There are two configurations. What year is your 900? Either one has a white plug cap on it. Remove cap and coolant drains out.

Look for #40 and 39 in first pic. Look for #39 and 38 in second pic.

What type of antifreeze do you use, the regular automotive stuff, or the premixed stuff from dealer?? Premixed seems like a rip, your paying for water. Also how long does it last before it needs replacing??

I use good old C-Tire stuff. Mis it at home with good quality water. Since I work on my sleds often (for FUN!) I tend to change the coolant once a year. Usually becasue I end up spilling the pan :d
