Detailed Product Overview

OSC part number 2878 is a replacement radiator engineered to match original equipment dimensions and cooling layout. The core measures 24 1/2 inches high by 21 3/16 inches wide with a 1-1/4 inch thickness, and the inlet and outlet diameters are both 1 1/2 inches. This radiator uses a plated transmission oil cooler and is built with premium tubes, fins, headers, and tanks to support consistent cooling performance in Volvo XC90, Volvo S80, and Volvo XC60 fitments.

The design focuses on OE-style installation and factory-spec component fitment. OSC also adds engineering updates such as improved fin density and enhanced cooling capacity to address heat load in higher-mileage vehicles. Part number 2878 is a practical replacement choice when restoring radiator performance without changing the original cooling layout.

Common Problems This Radiator Can Address

• Coolant leaks from a cracked or aging radiator tank
• Overheating caused by restricted or damaged radiator flow
• Transmission temperature concerns related to a failing cooler circuit
• Reduced cooling efficiency from worn core fins or internal deterioration
• Fitment issues when replacing an original radiator with an OE-style unit

Installation Notes and Fitment

Fits 2003-2014 Volvo XC90, N/A. Fits 2011 Volvo S80, N/A. Fits 2010-2011 Volvo XC60, N/A.

Before installation, verify core dimensions, inlet and outlet size, and cooler line routing against the original unit. This radiator is designed for direct replacement use, and the factory-style layout helps simplify installation in the listed Volvo applications. Confirm all connections are clean and properly seated before refilling and bleeding the cooling system.

Quality Assurance

OSC tests the transmission and engine oil coolers before assembly, tests the radiator core prior to assembly, and tests the completed unit again after assembly. Each radiator is individually pressure tested to help verify sealing and cooling-system integrity.
