Detailed Description

CSF 3513 is a direct-fit radiator for Mazda 2 models that use a down-flow cooling layout. The aluminum core helps transfer heat efficiently, while the plastic tanks follow the original equipment style used on the vehicle. This radiator is designed around the factory dimensions and hose locations, including the left-side inlet and right-side outlet configuration.

CSF manufactures radiators to controlled production standards and validates cooling performance through laboratory wind tunnel testing. The brand supplies a wide range of radiator applications across many vehicle platforms, and part number 3513 reflects that OE-style replacement approach for the Mazda 2.

This part cross-references Spectra Premium CU13233 for the same application.

What It Helps Address
