If you’re looking for a radiator that really gets the job done, you might want to check out the CSF radiator. Seriously, these guys have been in the game for over 50 years, and they know a thing or two about keeping your engine cool. With over 3,200 applications covered, from Acura to Volkswagen, you can bet they’ve got something that fits your ride.

Now, let’s talk materials. Whether you’re dealing with Copper-Brass, Plastic-Copper-Brass, or all-aluminum setups, CSF has you sorted. They’ve crafted these radiators to match the quality of original equipment (OE), so you’re not sacrificing performance for price. The construction is pretty impressive, too—think OEM specified plastic tanks paired with aluminum cores. The tanks are made from virgin-grade engineered plastic resins, which are glass-filled for extra strength and durability. That means they’re built to last, even under the toughest conditions.

One of the standout features is the high-performance multi-louvered design of the fins. This isn’t just for show; it’s engineered to maximize cooling efficiency. Each radiator is leak-tested at 150% of operating pressure before it leaves the factory, so you know you’re getting something reliable. And they don’t skimp on packaging either—these radiators can handle a 10-foot drop test, so you can trust that it’ll arrive in one piece.

When it comes to installation, CSF makes it straightforward. All components are installed, torqued, and tested during assembly, giving you peace of mind that everything’s up to snuff. Plus, the gaskets are made from special-grade EPDM rubber that can withstand extreme temperatures—down to -120°F. That’s tough!

For the specs nerds out there, here’s the rundown: it’s a crossflow radiator with a core thickness of 1 5/8 inches and a core width of 28 11/16 inches. It features two rows and has inlet and outlet widths of 2 1/8 inches. The bottom hose fitting is 1 3/8 inches on the left, while the top hose fitting is 1 3/8 inches on the right. This model fits the Infiniti QX56 from 2011 to 2013, the QX80 from 2014 to 2022, and the Nissan Armada from 2017 to 2020.

Just a quick note: if you’re swapping out your radiator, make sure to check that old pressure cap for any signs of wear. It’s the little things that can make a big difference.

In short, if you want a radiator that’s been tried and tested with some serious engineering behind it, CSF is a solid choice. It’s built to perform and last, and that’s what really matters when you’re out on the road.
