Chops is right.
Make sure you take the "radiator" cap off when using the drain valve. Otherwise the coolant doesn't drain properly. Also even after you've used the drain valve there's still going to be some coolant (not much) in the lower hose.

As far as a funnel for refilling, you can just cut the top off a 2L bottle. It is the perfect size for the Z.
