## Questions & Answers

**Q: Have question anyone recall how much ATF was held in the Tranny cooler ? I just orderd 2 Qts of the MerconSP ATF and do the unhookedl ines leak much ?**
A: Hi Roger, I have done many times the unhook for the transmission cooler on this radiator, you shouldn't worry about it!!! it will only lose less than a quarter of ATF so I don't think you should put ATF back in. Quick tip: put a plastic bag on each end that you unplug with a rubber band and it will leak very few ATF, also keep the ends facing up.

**Q: Does this radiator come with the cap?  Anything else I need purchase before this radiator can be installed into my 07 explorer? Thank you.**
A: The radiator does not come with a cap, and I recommend you replace it if it is the original.  Also, check the hoses that connect to the radiator, they are inexpensive and easy to replace with the radiator out of the car

**Q: Do the "spectra premium fittings" 0n cu2816 radiator have the double "o" rings in the fitting like the dorman 800-621 fittings?**
A: They do not.  I purchased the doorman fittings to upgrade them and they did not fit the radiator.    Radiator has worked fine.

**Q: Does this radiator come with the Dorman Double O-ring fittings part number 800-621 for the transmission lines?**
A: Thank you for your interest in Spectra Premium products.
They do come with our Spectra Premium Fittings,

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Mediocre quality
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2023*

The first unit was bent and the fins were damaged. I was sent a replacement right away it was not the greatest quality but usable. The quick connect fitting are poor quality so if you buy this radiator order new fittings from the start. Overall it is an okay product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fit perfectly
  

*by F***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2023*

2008 Mercury Mountaineer AWD 4.0 V6.  Direct replacement.  Was able to remove old one and put this one into place without removing the fan clutch/blade, but did require some creative maneuvering with a helper.  Transmission line removal from old radiator was the biggest issue…get a removal tool!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    OE Fit and Appears to Be High Quality
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2021*

Installed in 2006 Mountaineer AWD with the 4.0 V-6Despite Amazon's fitment guide saying this would not fit the Mercury, it does say it fits a similarly equipped Explorer.I checked with both Spectra's website and a friend with a 2006 Explorer who installed the same item prior to ordering.No issues and no modifications required: it bolts in exactly as the one I removed.The Spectra Premium line has a very good reputation so I have high hopes it will be durable.While it was more expensive than other aftermarket units, it costs far less than OE.Its general build quality and fittings are much better than the lesser aftermarket units which is money well spent in my mind.
