Coolant change: Engine block drain plug on the 2.0L?

I'm about to do my first coolant change on the Optra. I'd like to know if there is some kind of drain
plug on the engine itself to get most of it out before flushing and refilling.

My older Saturn had the thermostat mounted low enought to achieve a good result, but this is
not our case I think.

well the block doesnt have a drain plug

just take out the plug in the radiator and use a hose with water to flush the system

Thanks for the replies...

About the How-To, I've already read the great job you did MMamdouh. I just
kinda wished the 2.0L was different from the 1.6 and had a drain plug. Too bad.
