IS350 Coolant Drain and Fill
I'm having a difficult time locating the two engine coolant drain plugs on the block. This thread that has the instructions don't provide has much info for the location of the engine drain.

The link at the bottom that were supposed to provide the pictures are outdated. Could anyone guide me on where they are? Do they require the car to be on jack stands as well as all covers removed at the bottom?

Pull the engine cover its just off center to the right on the radiator.
Engine has two drains. Right side is between the engine mount and the rear of the block.
Left side is is between the engine mount and the front of the block.
Reference views are from the drivers seat.

Radiator from the bottom. The left engine drain may be done from the top. The right most likely from the bottom. Once you see the freeze plugs, you see the spicket with the bolt in the middle of it. You can put a hose on each and reduce the coolant mess.
Once hot and up to pressure, make sure the engine drains have sealed and are not leaking. As you are asking so much, each time the block cools it pulls in coolant from the reservoir. I would also pull the pressure cap when cold after the initial refill to top off the block.
