Got the job done, but it was sure difficult to get at the draincock. Took the plastic shield off the bottom and stuck the drain pan underneath. Then removed the battery and battery tray in order to reach down with a pair of needlenose visegrips and (gently) turn the draincock. Six quarts drained out. So I replaced 1.5 quarts of the coolant with Dex-cool antifreeze to get the mix to 50% plus. So now I should be good to -37 deg F.
Thanks for the help!
