If you're looking to keep your engine cool under pressure, the CSF radiator is where it's at. This isn't just any radiator; it's a solid piece of engineering that's been trusted for over 50 years. With a lineup that covers more than 3,200 applications, from Acura to Volkswagen, CSF has really got the bases covered. Whether you’re rolling with a Copper-Brass setup or going all-in with an All-Aluminum model, they’ve got the right fit for your ride.
What sets CSF apart is the quality. These guys produce aftermarket radiators that are built to last, using top-notch materials that mirror what you’d find in original equipment. You’re getting a radiator that’s not only robust but also efficient—perfect for those long drives or off-road adventures where overheating is the last thing you want to deal with.
Let’s talk specs. This radiator features an OEM-specified Plastic Tank-Aluminum Core construction, which means it’s designed to handle the heat. The tanks are crafted from virgin-grade engineered plastic resins, and they’re glass-filled for that extra bit of strength. Plus, the gaskets are made from special-grade EPDM rubber, which can take on extreme temperatures—up to -120°F. That’s some serious durability.
And you know how important cooling performance is, right? CSF radiators are wind tunnel tested to validate their efficiency. They come with a high-performance multi-louvered fin design that maximizes airflow, ensuring your engine stays cool even when things heat up. Each unit is also leak tested at 150% of operating pressure before it leaves the factory, so you can trust it won’t let you down.
In terms of dimensions, this downflow radiator fits perfectly with the Acura TLX from 2015 to 2020. With a core width of 30 1/16” and a core thickness of 1 1/4”, it’s built to fit snugly into your setup. Just make sure to check your old radiator’s pressure cap for wear when you’re swapping it out—it’s the little things that can make a big difference.
In short, if you’re serious about keeping your engine cool and running smoothly, the CSF radiator is a solid choice. It’s not just about replacing a part; it’s about upgrading your ride with something that’s been tried, tested, and proven over decades.
