🔧 Denso Silver Radiator 221-0501 Review

I needed to replace the radiator on my Toyota Camry. The cooler fits perfectly and was easy to assemble. So far the cooler is fine. Denso products are definitely the best choice if you want to save money and get parts that are very similar to original Toyota parts.

Installed on my son's 1997 Camry V6 with over 200,000 miles. It's great for features, no installation hassles. Not sure about long term reliability. Made in Taiwan.

If you live in an area prone to rusting, I recommend covering these areas with an anti-corrosive paint such as POR-15 to help your radiator last longer. My first change came out of the short fitting on the left, my second change out of the longer fitting on the right. I have treated the 3rd POR15…

This first Denso radiator lives up to its name. Unlike other aftermarket OEM replacement parts, this one fitted perfectly. The square nuts used to attach the fans to the heatsink were the right size and thread to match the original equipment screws and they were in the right place - unlike other aftermarket OEMs. The transmission cooler lines have been designed exactly like the original, so your existing hoses can be used - unlike other aftermarket OEMs. As far as I know it's the same company…
