If you're looking to keep your engine cool and running smoothly, you can't go wrong with a CSF radiator. These guys know their stuff—after all, they’ve been in the game for over 50 years, selling more than 30 million units worldwide. That’s a lot of happy customers! With over 3,200 different automotive radiator models, they’ve got something for just about every make and model, from Acura to Volkswagen.
What I really appreciate about CSF is that they don’t skimp on quality. Whether your ride has a Copper-Brass, Plastic-Copper-Brass, Plastic-Aluminum, or all-Aluminum radiator, CSF has you covered. Their radiators are built to OE standards, so you know you’re getting the same level of durability and performance that came with your vehicle from the factory.
One of the standout features is their OEM specified Plastic Tank-Aluminum Core construction. The tanks are made from virgin-grade engineered plastic resins that are glass-filled for extra strength and durability. And those gaskets? They’re crafted from a special grade of EPDM rubber, which can handle extreme temperatures—up to -120°F. That’s some serious resilience!
When it comes to cooling performance, you can trust that these radiators have been rigorously tested. They’re wind tunnel tested and leak-tested at 150% of operating pressure before they even leave the factory. Plus, the high-performance multi-louvered fins really help maximize cooling efficiency.
Now, let’s get into some specs. This particular model is a downflow radiator, perfect for the Acura TLX from 2015 to 2020. It features a top hose fitting of 1 1/4" on the left, and the inlet and outlet widths are both 1 5/8". The core is aluminum, measuring 30 1/16" wide and 15 3/4" long, with a thickness of 1 1/4". And don’t worry about it showing up damaged; CSF uses industry-best packaging that can withstand a 10-foot drop test.
Just a quick tip: when you’re swapping out your radiator, make sure to check the old radiator pressure cap for wear and tear. It’s a small detail that can make a big difference in your cooling system’s performance.
In short, if you're serious about keeping your engine cool and want a product that’s built to last, a CSF radiator is a solid choice. It’s all about reliability and performance, and with CSF, you’re getting just that.
