Detailed Description

OSC part number 2306 is a replacement radiator designed for direct-fit service on Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute models from 2001 through 2004. It uses premium-grade tubes, fins, headers, tanks, and related components to match OE form and function while addressing common cooling-system wear points. The radiator includes an engine oil cooler and uses a die-cut gasket to help maintain a secure seal. OSC also tests the radiator core, the oil coolers before assembly, and the completed unit to verify performance before it leaves production.

This radiator is built with engineering updates aimed at improving durability in higher-mileage vehicles, including added fin density and a thicker core design where needed to manage heat more effectively. This part cross-references APDI 8012306 for the same application.

What This Radiator Helps Address

• Overheating caused by a worn or leaking radiator
• Coolant loss from cracked tanks or failed seals
• Reduced cooling efficiency from aged core materials
• Heat buildup in Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute cooling systems
• Oil cooling concerns where the engine oil cooler is part of the original design

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inlet and outlet sizes, cooler configuration, and overall dimensions before installation. Part number 2306 is built for drop-in fitment, but the cooling system should be inspected for hose condition, mounting wear, and contamination before the new radiator is installed. Follow factory torque and fill procedures to help prevent leaks and air pockets.

Quality Assurance

OSC radiators are manufactured to OE-style standards and individually pressure tested during production. The radiator core and oil cooler sections are tested before final assembly, then the completed unit is tested again to confirm sealing and function. This process supports consistent fitment and cooling-system reliability for 2001-2004 Ford Escape and 2001-2004 Mazda Tribute vehicles.
