Yep - and they are a PITA. Many start leaking or people can't get them
to drain and over-turn them and end up having to replace them. They
also are in a very difficult spot to reach (as on most cars these days).

My understanding is they turn CCW a little over 90° and pull out just a
little to start draining. I couldn't get mine to start draining, and
learned later on the 300M Club forums that they have to come out a
little after being turned. Also the o-rings go bad on them. I ended up
just flushing thru the radiator hoses. Will probably do the same thing
again next time to avoid damaging it or the o-ring start leaking. Very
poor design.
