Detailed Description

CSF part number 3794 is designed for drivers needing a direct replacement radiator for the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX cooling system. The radiator uses an aluminum core with plastic tanks in an OE-style layout, and the heavy-duty core is listed as 11% thicker than the OEM 27 mm design on applicable Ford Edge models. CSF has produced radiators for decades and supplies a wide range of applications across major vehicle platforms, with engineering validation focused on cooling performance.

This part cross-references APDI 8013554 for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 2015-2018 Ford Edge, N/A. Upgraded Heavy Duty Core. 11% Thicker 30mm vs OEM 27mm.
• Fits 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX, N/A. w/ Tow Package.

What It Helps Address

• Overheating caused by a worn or leaking radiator
• Coolant loss from cracked plastic tanks or aged core joints
• Reduced cooling efficiency under towing or higher-load driving
• Temperature instability from a restricted or damaged radiator core
• Replacement needs after corrosion, impact, or internal blockage

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inlet and outlet orientation before installation: this radiator uses a left-side inlet and right-side outlet. Confirm the vehicle’s cooling system configuration and match the OE-style dimensions, especially on Ford Edge models with the upgraded heavy-duty core and Lincoln MKX vehicles equipped with the tow package. Transfer and inspect related cooling components as needed during radiator replacement.
