engine block drain plug - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have two Avalons, a 2000 and a 2002. I have the toyota service manual. Their are two coolant engine block drain plugs, one for each side of the motor. One is located in front near the oil filter, clearly visible, I have yet to be able to find the other one. The photo in the service manual is useless to me. Any help would be appreciated as I am getting ready to change the coolant.

Not sure if this will help, but this was the most relevant thread I found in a search of this forum. You might also do a search of the Gen 5/6 Camry forum for a relevant thread. There's a huge number of threads to search from and a lot of DIYers in there, so something relevant may turn up.

Thanks for the response- saw that thread but did not help. Will check the Camry forum.

On the firewall side of the block. Kind of hard to get to with the exhaust and axle in the way.

Thanks, I'll look there.
