CSF 3596 Radiator

OE-Style Cooling Replacement

The CSF 3596 radiator is built for direct replacement service on select Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT applications. It uses an OE-style plastic tank and aluminum core design with a cross-flow layout to match factory cooling system packaging.

Designed around the 1-row, 7/8-inch core, this radiator supports efficient heat transfer while maintaining the original fitment profile for vehicles without the tow package. The CSF 3596 is a practical choice for drivers replacing a leaking, clogged, or damaged radiator on a Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT.
