Model: Cherokee (XJ)
Default Engine block drain block

Hi all. I'm new to the forum. I live in the UK. I have just purchased a jeep grand cherokee orvis 98 4.0 straight six. I would like to drain the coolant. I have found the radiator plug but I can't find the engine block drain. The pictures/diagrams in the manual aren't obvious. Thanks for your time.

Thanks a lot. Does that take into account right hand drive?

Yes. Engine blocks did not vary between models.

Edit: Well I guess "driver's side" would be dependent on whether it's LHD or RHD, so to be more correct, it's on the LH side, down by the collector at the end of the exhaust manifold.
