Good day happy peoples!

I am flushing my cooling system with a rust remover, and was wondering since my last flush if there happens to be a plug on the bottom of the engine for removing that last drop of coolant that never seems to want to come out and play. I understand that I can do several drain-fills with intermediate driving, but that sounds like an uncomfortable spot in the prosterior to be frank.

Also, my indie appears to love DexCool. How does this stuff do in an 850T, and are there any caveats I should consider if switching to the orange side of the force? I read up on line and the only differance appears to be chemical. They are both toxic, protect against corrosion, and don't freeze. Is this worth doing?

Thank you in advance for any comments you may have. I'm going to go pop the draincock and put in that rust-away.
