Last year you sent me great information regarding changing the coolant on my Cruze. Now I have to perform the same maintenance on my daughter's 2012 Chevrolet Sonic.
Is the procedure the same and will the drain plug and bleeder screw be in the same location? Any information will be most appreciated.
