If you're looking to keep your engine cool, the CSF radiator is where it's at. I've been around the block with different radiators, and I can say with confidence that CSF really knows their stuff. They offer a massive range of over 3,200 applications, so whether you're rolling in an Acura or a Volkswagen, they’ve got you covered. No matter what kind of radiator you need—Copper-Brass, Plastic-Copper-Brass, Plastic-Aluminum, or All Aluminum—CSF matches the quality and style of the original equipment, so you know you're getting something that fits right and performs well.
What sets CSF apart from the crowd is their commitment to quality. These radiators are built to last, using top-notch materials that stand up to the rigors of the road. They’ve been in the game for over 50 years and have sold more than 30 million units worldwide, which speaks volumes about their reliability. Each radiator goes through rigorous testing, including wind tunnel tests, to ensure they're up to snuff when it comes to cooling performance.
Let’s dive into some of the nitty-gritty details: the CSF radiator features OEM specified Plastic Tank-Aluminum Core Construction, which means it’s designed to fit like a glove. The tanks are made from virgin grade engineered plastic resins that are glass-filled for extra durability. You won't have to worry about this unit cracking under pressure, either—it's built to withstand extreme temperatures, with gaskets made from special grade EPDM rubber that can handle up to -120°F. The fins, which are the heart of the radiator, sport a high-performance multi-louvered design that maximizes airflow and cooling efficiency.
Before they leave the factory, each radiator is 100% leak tested at 150% of the operating pressure, so you can trust that it’s ready to perform. And they don’t skimp on packaging, either—CSF uses industry-best standards, including a "10 Foot Drop Test" to ensure your radiator arrives in perfect condition. Every component is carefully installed, torqued, and tested during assembly, so you know you’re getting a solid product.
As for the specs, this is a crossflow radiator with a single row design. It measures 26 7/16" in core length, 18 5/16" in width, and 7/8" in thickness, with an aluminum core and plastic tanks. The inlet is located on the upper driver side, while the outlet is on the lower passenger side, with diameters of 1 3/8" and 1 1/2", respectively. It fits perfectly in Ford Fusion models from 2017 to 2019, as well as Lincoln MKZ and Continental models from 2017 to 2020.
Just a quick tip: when you’re swapping out your radiator, don’t forget to check the old pressure cap for any signs of wear and tear. It’s the little things that can make a big difference in keeping your ride running smoothly.
