Reviews of Denso engine radiator

Have had good experiences with Denso & Koyo.

Put a few more $ in and buy a slightly more expensive one. Preferably from a bigger brand - Denso, Koyo etc. guaranteed to be better quality in most cases and fit better.

Denso is the OE for most Honda rads. I've always used them and they're good.

Denso and Koyorad are good brands.

The MVP radiator and the Denso aftermarket are identical, both say Denso. The main difference between the OEM and the MVP/Denso is the OEM is 2 Core with a radiator thickness of 1.075 inches thick. The Denso is 1 Core with a radiator thickness of 0.663 inches thick. I measured the thickness using a digital caliper. Another difference is the transmission connection lines, the MVP/Denso looks like a cheaper aluminum, and the OEM is a heftier non aluminum metal. As a side note, after searching the internet and YouTube, some people have leaks at the radiator line after a couple of years with the Denso aftermarket ones. Next time I will be sticking with the OEM model, I just don’t have time to return the Denso and order another OEM one.

I did replace one with oem and fail in less than a month denso brand

I also replaced the radiator (I went Denso, not oem). It\u2019s gxor-ish recommended preventative maintenance every 100k.

I spent two years (off and on, as it only overheated when idling in 90+ degree conditions or when doing low-speed jeep trail climbing in the heat) chasing this on my rig. Over time, replaced fluid, thermostat, radiator cap, clutch fan. No joy. Finally pulled the radiator, and the front fins were horribly blocked. Replaced with a new Denso, and problem solved. Only issue with the new Denso was that the mounting rails on the new radiator were shite, but it was a matter of four bolts to swap over the old rails (with upper shroud still attached) to the new radiator.

I personally I have used a Denso radiator for my Mazda protege and it been working fine for almost 30,000 miles
