If you’re looking to keep your engine cool without breaking the bank, you’ve got to check out the CSF radiator. Seriously, this isn’t just any radiator; it’s built for the kind of folks who want reliability and performance without the fluff. CSF has been around for over 50 years, and in that time, they've sold more than 30 million units. That’s a lot of happy engines!

What I love about CSF is their commitment to quality. They’ve got a massive lineup with over 3,200 applications, so whether you’re driving an Acura or a Volkswagen, chances are they've got something that’ll fit. They use OEM-grade materials, which means you’re getting the same stuff you’d find in your original radiator. We’re talking about a mix of plastic and aluminum that’s designed to take a beating.

Now, let’s dive into some of the specs. This is a crossflow radiator with a two-row design, measuring 36 inches long by 19 3/16 inches wide and a thickness of 2 1/16 inches. The core is aluminum, and the tanks are made from virgin-grade engineered plastic resins that are “glass filled” for extra strength. That means they can handle the heat—literally. The gaskets are made from special EPDM rubber, which can withstand temperatures as low as -120°F. So, whether you’re in the middle of a summer heatwave or dealing with winter chill, this radiator has your back.

And you know what’s even better? Every radiator is leak tested before it leaves the factory, and they do it at 150% of the operating pressure. That’s some serious quality control. Plus, they’ve got a robust packaging standard that can survive a 10-foot drop, so you know it’s going to arrive in one piece.
