Radiator

External

The aluminum core can be cleaned externally with a soft bristle brush, warm water and a mild household liquid detergent. Rinse with clear water.

If the radiator (8005) is equipped with a transmission oil cooler (7A095) , install steel or brass plugs in the transmission oil cooler fittings before cleaning and keep them installed during the entire service operation.

Internal

NOTE: Do not use caustic cleaning solutions or copper/brass radiator cleaning agents on aluminum radiators . Internal cleaning of the aluminum tubes can be accomplished with sonic cleaning equipment or by removing one end tank to gain access to tubes. Then, clean the tubes with a mild household liquid detergent. Rinse the core with clean water when completed. Do not use a metal brush to clean an aluminum core. Use only horsehair, bristle or nylon brushes.
