Detailed Description

Spectra Premium designs this radiator to meet or exceed original equipment performance expectations for heavy-duty cooling systems. The aluminum core helps transfer heat efficiently, while the plastic tank construction supports OE-style replacement fitment. The built-in plated transmission oil cooler adds fluid cooling support for vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cooler circuit. Spectra 2001-2003P is cross-referenced to applications such as 8912A and 16400E0025 for the same type of radiator replacement need.

This radiator is a strong match for buyers looking for a replacement radiator for Honda and Hyundai applications where the original unit uses a downflow layout and integrated transmission cooler. If you are searching for a Spectra radiator replacement for Honda Civic or Hyundai radiator fitment, this part number is one to verify against the original unit dimensions and hose locations.

What This Radiator Helps Address

• Overheating caused by a worn or leaking radiator
• Transmission fluid temperature rise from a failing cooler circuit
• Coolant loss from cracked tanks or damaged core seams
• Poor heat rejection from a restricted or corroded radiator
• Fitment issues when replacing an OE-style downflow radiator

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify core size, inlet and outlet diameter, and hose location before installation. This radiator uses a 2.1875 in. inlet and 2.1875 in. outlet, with the inlet on the upper right and the outlet on the lower left. Confirm that the vehicle uses a downflow configuration and an engine-side transmission oil cooler connection before ordering. The included frame and mounting hardware support installation, and the package contents list 6x M8 square nut hardware.

For fitment-based searches, this part is commonly referenced for Honda Civic radiator replacement and Hyundai radiator replacement applications. Always compare the original radiator dimensions and cooler layout to Spectra 2001-2003P before installation.

Quality Assurance

Spectra Premium states that its engineering, manufacturing process, and quality control are used to help these heavy-duty radiators meet or exceed OE performance expectations. That applies to the radiator core, tanks, and integrated transmission cooler components.
