This also has a drain plug however not clear how you get this out as it appears to be blocked by the oil radiator housing. Am I supposed to remove this one ? I also didn’t get “a lot “ coming out the other side. Later on when I change the thermostat i noticed there is still a lot of coolant in the block. My guess is that there is a block drain plug ? Anyone know ? I looked in the manual and this just says to contact Ferrari to change the coolant????
