Years ago my friend was using my yard for working on his car. While he had coolant drained in the pan next to the car, neighbor dog jump the fence and drunk close to 1 gallon of it. Couple years later the neighbor was moving to the city and he gave us German Shepard (other dog was put to sleep a year earlier becouse of tumor). She lived with us for 9 years till she died of old age.

Len, thanks for your write-up. But please indulge this newbie and explain what the "noise encapsulation panel" is, and how to remove it. More details on draining, too...
Sorry, but the instructions gave me a flashback to the recipe for rat souffle (Recipes with Rats)
Under the car there are three noise encapsulation panels. The center one has to come off if you drain the oil from below. The front one has to come off to access the radiator drain plug. They are all just held in place with 10mm screws. Very easy to remove them.
Open the drain plug, catch the old coolant and recycle it. Pouring it into empty gallon jugs is an easy way to measure how much you get out. There isn't much else to it on the 210 chassis. What else do you want to know?
