Detailed Description

OSC Part Number 13257 is engineered as a direct radiator replacement for 2012-2015 Honda Civic and 2013 Acura ILX applications listed above. The radiator measures 26 5/16 inches wide with a 14 3/4 inch core height and 5/8 inch core thickness, and it uses 1 1/4 inch inlet and outlet diameters. The unit includes a concentric transmission oil cooler, while engine oil cooling is not included. OSC uses premium tubes, fins, headers, tanks, and related components to improve durability and maintain OE performance characteristics.

The design also addresses common failure points found in higher-mileage cooling systems by increasing fin density, using a thicker core, and incorporating a larger transmission cooler where equipped. For buyers searching for a Honda Civic radiator replacement or an Acura ILX radiator with transmission cooler, Part Number 13257 provides a direct-fit solution built around the original cooling layout.

This part cross-references APDI 8013257 and Spectra Premium CU13257 for the same application.

Common Problems This Radiator Can Address

• Coolant leaks from a damaged or aging radiator tank or core
• Overheating caused by restricted cooling capacity or internal wear
• Transmission fluid temperature concerns in vehicles with an integrated cooler
• Cooling system failure from cracked plastic tanks or weakened seals
• Reduced heat rejection in high-mileage Honda Civic and Acura ILX applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify radiator dimensions, inlet and outlet placement, and transmission cooler connection style before installation. This radiator is designed for direct replacement service, but the cooling system should be inspected for hose condition, mounting points, and contamination before the new unit is installed. Follow factory service procedures for coolant refill, bleeding, and leak checks after installation.

Quality Assurance

OSC tests the transmission and engine oil coolers before assembly, checks the radiator core prior to assembly, and tests the completed unit again after assembly. The radiator is individually pressure tested, and the design uses OE-style engineering details to support consistent fit and sealing.
