Radiator drain
Can someone tell me how to drain out the resivour to the radiator? All I have is water in there and I need to put some coolant but have no idea how, it’s been over heating constantly and I’ve just figured that out by other posts, thanks on google on why it may be over heating. Also what type of coolant do I need I’ve never done this

There are 3 drains. 1 on bottom of radiator and 2 on the engine. This link shows where they are and how to do everything. http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/cooling/coolant.html
That is for a 90-94 but I'd guess the engine drain plugs are in the same location, or very close, for all years.
Only thing I would change about that link would be the brand of coolant. Use Toyota RED.
