Product Details

This Four Seasons Electric Fan Kit, part number 36898, is designed for buyers looking for a universal fit reversible engine cooling fan rather than an OE replacement. The 16-inch diameter and 3.87-inch depth make it suitable for many radiator and engine bay layouts, while the reinforced nylon blade construction helps keep the assembly lightweight and durable. It is a direct fit style solution for applications such as Subaru Legacy, Subaru Outback, and Hyundai Santa Fe when the listed fitment notes call for a standard performance or universal-fit 16-inch fan kit. This part cross-references Hayden 396 and Gates 3700 for the same application.

Compatible With select applications including 2016-2019 Subaru Legacy, 2016-2019 Subaru Outback, and 2001-2017 Hyundai Santa Fe, along with many other listed vehicles such as Honda Accord, Toyota Tacoma, Ford Mustang, and Nissan Altima. Always verify the fitment notes for your exact vehicle and cooling setup before installation.

Common Cooling Problems It Can Address

• Weak airflow from an aging or inefficient engine cooling fan
• Overheating at idle or in slow traffic
• Cooling system strain after radiator or engine modifications
• Need for reversible push/pull fan setup in a custom install
• Replacement for a damaged fan assembly in a universal-fit application

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm available clearance before mounting, since the fan measures 16 inches in diameter and 3.87 inches in depth. This kit uses a 12-volt electrical setup and a 36-inch wiring harness, and controls are not included. Because the fan is reversible, it can be configured for push or pull operation depending on radiator placement and airflow direction. Review the vehicle-specific notes for Subaru Legacy, Subaru Outback, Hyundai Santa Fe, and other listed applications to match the correct cooling strategy.

Quality Assurance

Four Seasons 36898 is performance rated and built with reinforced nylon components for consistent cooling use in universal electric fan applications. The included mounting hardware supports a cleaner installation, and the fan’s finger guard adds a practical safety feature for service and handling.
