drain and refill cooling system on a 92' Grand am

That picture is for a GM vehicle that is probably quite a bit newer then your vehicle. I believe your vehicle will have something similiar to that, but on the drivers side of the car. On some of these cars, it's very difficult to see the drain plug, but it will be there. In most cases, it's at the bottom of either the left or right tank, usually the tank opposite where the lower rad hose goes into the rad. And on the older vehicles, the drain plug "usually" faces towards the engine compartment. Some newer vehicles (malibu) face towards the front of the vehicle.

If all else fails, you can always just remove the lower rad hose at the radiator (often easier "said" then done).

OK, thanks. I will go under the car one more time and have a closer look... A friend also told me to remove the lower rad hose, but its look not very easy...

By the way: Sorry for my poor English.

Hey, don't worry about it! Your English is far, far better then whatever I could attempt in your language!

I don't know about your 92, but on my 89 there is a drain plug and it is on the passenger side. However, there is no practical way of getting to it. The only way I could figure out how do to drain the radiator was to disconnect the lower hose, not where it attaches to the radiator but on the side that goes to the engine. It's messy but it works!

Yesterday, I looked for the drain plug one more time. I couldn't find it. But there is a lot of plastic and metal under the radiator. So I think I will remove the radiator hose. Why you disconnected the hose on the engine side and not on the radiator side?

Because it's easier to get to!
