19, IIRC. was able to get it off the first time 3 yrs ago. couldnt do it
again this time. ended up draining, refilling, ran the car...drained, then
refilled again. 50/50 orange prestone and distilled. radiator core still
looked brand new. wasted bout 3 qts worth of the stuff from the drain and
refill, but i know the mix is right and fresh. the temp gauge is even down
about 2 notches from center now.

the bolt is a major pain in the ass to take off, even with the oil filter
below it off.
