I looked at what I bought like 165k and it was KOYO Radiator A1998 for $175 and I'm like 100k miles later and it still looks good. I just wanna change it for preventative maintenance since I'm gonna have my mechanic add the external cooler

Pros: still looks good, long lasting
Mileage: 160934 km
Part number: A1998

Koyo Engine radiator

Mine developed a small slow leak out of that nub two weeks after I bought it. Koyo gave me the run around on their warranty, insisting on photos of a destroyed radiator for replacement. I gave up. It’s a shame because it fit awesome and looked great.

Pros: awesome fit, great look
Cons: developed slow leak, poor warranty service
Vehicle: Honda S2000

Denso Engine radiator

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.

Cons: 1 core, thinner
Vehicle: Toyota Highlander
