I'm curious if it comes with a drain plug. I really dislike the "disconnect the bottom hose and take a green shower" method.

If your motivation is to avoid the golden showers it's a very cheap and simple job to retrofit a drain tap to a standard rad
Only cost me $12 to have a drain added to my radiator
Oil leak?? What oil leak? That puddle under the car is just sweat from all that horsepower!!

It has a drain plug that looks like the one on your link.

I purchased the radiator in the above link only to have the seller cancel it because he was out of stock. Then he relisted it with $100 shipping.
The next day I bought another one from a different seller only to have the seller cancel it because it was out of stock. Then he relisted it with $100 shipping.
Not being one to learn a lesson quickly, today I bought a third one from a third seller and I just got an email that he too was out of stock.
It's ok, I really didn't need one anyway.
