Any way to change the coolant in my 2003 Pathfinder without removing the lower radiator hose? Radiators used to come with drain fittings, but they were removed to save $$$ for the factory, no one worries about the end user.

Are you sure it doesn't have a radiator drain? My '02 Pathfinder has one. No petcock though, Just a big plastic screw in the bottom.
it has a drain,look closer
Thanks to both responders. I'll drop the plastic lower shield and have a closer look the next time I change the oil and filter.

According to my '01 service manual, the drain plug is on the right (US passenger) side, pointing straight down.
