If you’re looking to keep your engine running cool and strong, the CSF Engine Coolant Radiator is a solid choice. I’ve been through my fair share of radiators, and this one really stands out. It’s designed to fit like a glove in your Acura RL from 1996 to 2004, so you know it’s going to do the job right. The downflow design is simple, yet effective, and with a single row core, it’s built to maximize cooling efficiency without the unnecessary bulk.
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. The core measures 17 11/16" in length and 26 11/16" in width, with a thickness of 5/8". That’s some serious cooling real estate! Made from aluminum, the core is lightweight yet durable, while the tanks are crafted from virgin-grade plastic that’s been glass-filled for extra strength. Trust me, you want that kind of durability under your hood.
One of the coolest features is the multi-louvered design of the fins. They really amp up the heat dissipation, which is crucial, especially if you’re pushing your car hard. Plus, the gaskets are made from special EPDM rubber, so they can handle extreme temps—up to -120°F. That’s peace of mind when you’re out on the road or hitting the trails.
CSF doesn’t skimp on quality, either. Every radiator is leak tested at 150% of operating pressure before it leaves the factory. They’ve been in the game for over 50 years, and with more than 30 million units sold worldwide, they clearly know what they’re doing. Their commitment to quality is evident in the way they package their products too; they even pass a 10-foot drop test to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.
And let’s not forget about fitment. This radiator is specifically made for the Acura RL from 1996 to 2004. Just a heads up, when you’re swapping out your radiator, make sure to check the old pressure cap for any signs of wear—it’s a small detail that can save you a headache down the line.
In short, if you want a reliable cooling solution that won’t let you down, the CSF Engine Coolant Radiator is worth considering. It’s engineered to meet high-performance standards and built to last, giving you the confidence to take your ride wherever the road leads.
