CSF Radiators Engine Coolant Radiator for Nissan Frontier/Xterra 1998-2004, Plastic-Aluminum
$95.16

If you’re looking to keep your engine running cooler and longer, the CSF Engine Coolant Radiator is a solid choice. This isn’t just any radiator; it’s designed with OE style in mind, making it a reliable replacement for your worn-out cooling component. Trust me, keeping your cooling system in top shape is essential for your vehicle’s heart to keep beating strong.

Let’s get into the nitty-gritty. This radiator features a downflow design with a single row, measuring at a core length of 17 11/16" and a width of 27 1/16". It’s not bulky, but it’s built tough with a 5/8" core thickness made from aluminum, while the tanks are constructed from durable plastic. The inlet and outlet are conveniently located on the lower passenger side, both with a diameter of 1 7/16". Plus, it comes with a high-efficiency concentric oil cooler measuring 14 3/4".

What really sets this radiator apart is its construction. The OEM-specified plastic tank and aluminum core combo is engineered for strength and longevity. The tanks are made from virgin-grade engineered plastic resins that are glass-filled for extra durability. And those gaskets? They’re crafted from special-grade EPDM rubber, which can handle extreme temperatures, even as low as -120°F. This radiator’s heart—the fins—feature a high-performance multi-louvered design that maximizes cooling efficiency.

Before they leave the factory, each radiator is 100% leak tested at 150% of its operating pressure. You can count on it to hold up under pressure. And let’s not forget about the packaging; CSF goes the extra mile with a "10 Foot Drop Test" standard, ensuring your radiator arrives in perfect condition.

CSF has been in the game for over 50 years, offering a wide variety of automotive radiator models that cover more than 3,200 applications, from Acura to Volkswagen. They’ve sold over 30 million units worldwide, and their products are engineered and wind tunnel tested for top-notch cooling performance. With three manufacturing facilities and a team of skilled engineers, they’re constantly pushing the envelope on cooling technology.

Fitment:

  • Nissan Frontier 1998-2004
  • Nissan Xterra 2000-2004

Notes:

  • Use a mini, 13 psi cap.
  • While you’re at it, check your old radiator pressure cap for any signs of wear and tear.

So, if you’re serious about keeping your engine cool, this CSF radiator is a no-brainer. It’s built to last and designed to perform, making it a worthwhile investment for any Nissan Frontier or Xterra owner.
