I've been reading the forum here and it seam like at 150k the OEM radiator in the 93-97 accord develop a crack in the plastic. At 150k my 96 accord vtec 4cyl auto has this crack in the plastic. It slowly leaks or evaporated coolant.

Question: What radiator should I get?

OEM is $338 ... yikes

The other options are

NAPA - ProLine made in chine (modin sold out to proline 2 yrs ago)
Shucks - Ready Rad Radiator (also a Proline made in china)

I realy don't trust anything made in china. Is there any USA made radiators that are aftermarket? The OEMs are made in Japan.

Also what is the best way to add tranny fluid back into the tranny? I bought some honda OEM fluid.

 

Add auto-tranny fluid into the dipstick hole.

I don't know about the radiator. Fluidyne?

 

This rad from yoko looks better then oem. no plastic to break. I intend on keeping this honda forever. still $340 bucks for a rad is hard to justify.

Are the cheap ones from china any good? These are what NAPA sells. They come with a lifetime warrenty but I just hate to replace this and then have to replace later. Most lifetime warrenties realize that most people don't hold on to cars as long as I do.

Fluidyne looks good also but over $500 yikes!!

I went with a Performance Radiator. Seams to be goos quality.

Now when I got it home I found that it only had one flare nut for the tranny cooler. The other nut where the cooler line goes was just screwed in.
