Hey it is what it is and its really not hard to do. I make things on my car that I hate doing easier so its not hard next time. They sell screw in block fitting that go right in the factory block drain plugs and most radiators have drain plugs. Drain a gallon of water and add a gallon of antifreeze. Catch it next year and reuse it. It may save YOU from wrecking or someone else. Prestone also offers waterpump lube and anti-rust to use during the summer. I don't honestly know if its safer than antifreeze as I use plain water and change it out often during the Summer.
