Detailed Product Description
The CSF 3541 radiator features a 5/8 inch thick aluminum core measuring 28 11/16 inches wide and 14 7/8 inches long, optimized for the Mazda 6 cooling system. Its down flow configuration promotes effective coolant flow from top to bottom, enhancing heat exchange. Both the inlet and outlet have a 1 3/8 inch diameter and are located on the left side, matching factory specifications. The plastic tanks reduce weight while maintaining durability, and the integrated high-efficiency concentric oil cooler (13 3/4 inches) supports engine oil temperature regulation. This radiator does not include a cap but is compatible with CSF cap number 4540.
Common Applications and Issues Addressed
- Replacement for leaking or damaged Mazda 6 radiators
- Solves overheating caused by clogged or inefficient cooling cores
- Addresses coolant flow restrictions due to core damage
- Restores proper engine oil cooling with integrated oil cooler
- Prevents corrosion and tank failure common in older radiators
Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure the radiator is compatible with your specific Mazda 6 model year before installation. Verify inlet and outlet hose connections match the 1 3/8 inch left-side configuration. Since the radiator does not include a cap, use the CSF cap number 4540 or an equivalent OEM cap. Inspect all hoses and clamps for wear during replacement to maintain a secure cooling system. Properly bleed the cooling system after installation to avoid air pockets.
