Why customers choose NorthTrail Auto

DWVO DWRD1038 is a complete aluminum radiator engineered as a direct replacement for Nissan Altima 2.5L (2007–2018) and Altima/Maxima 3.5L (2009–2023), delivering OEM-fit cooling performance for worry-free installation.

This radiator is built to match the original equipment form and fit while improving long-term durability. Constructed with a high-density, multi-louvered fin core and TIG-welded connections, the unit reproduces OEM mounting points and flow paths so it works with automatic and manual transmissions. The package includes the radiator and a user manual; the radiator cap is not included. DWVO focuses on corrosion-resistant coatings and reinforced inlet/outlet tanks to reduce leaks and extend service life under typical operating conditions.

Will this radiator fit my 2009–2018 Nissan Altima or 2009–2023 Maxima?

Yes — DWRD1038 is designed to match the OEM part numbers 21410ZN50A and 21460ZN50A for the listed model years and engine options. It reproduces factory mounting points and hose locations for a direct drop-in replacement in compatible vehicles. Always cross-check your vehicle’s engine size and original part number before purchase.

  • Compatible engines: Altima 2.5L L4 (2007–2018), Altima/Maxima 3.5L V6 (2009–2023)
  • OEM reference: 21410ZN50A, 21460ZN50A
  • Fits both automatic and manual transmission applications where specified
  • Verify fit by comparing mounting points and hose positions

How does the DWVO radiator improve cooling and durability?

The radiator uses a high-density multi-louvered fin core to maximize air-to-coolant heat transfer, helping the engine shed heat more effectively during normal and heavy-duty driving. TIG-welded seams and PA66 GF30 inlet/outlet tanks resist leakage and thermal stress. A protective treated coating helps guard against corrosion and road debris over time.

  • High-density fins for increased cooling surface area
  • TIG-welded aluminum core for strong, leak-resistant joins
  • PA66 GF30 tanks to withstand thermal cycling and pressure
  • Protective coating to reduce corrosion risk

What comes in the box and what installation notes should I know?

The shipment contains one complete DWVO radiator (DWRD1038) and a user manual; the radiator cap is excluded. Foam supports are fixed at the four corners to protect the core during transit and prevent bending. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper hose routing, transmission cooler line connections, and system bleeding for optimal performance.

  • Includes: 1x DWVO complete radiator and 1x user manual
  • Excludes: radiator cap — source OEM cap if needed
  • Packaging: corner foam to prevent shipping damage
  • Installation: recommended by a trained mechanic for best results

How should I maintain this radiator for long life?

Routine cooling system maintenance extends radiator life: flush coolant per manufacturer schedule, inspect hoses and clamps, and check for damage after impacts or overheating events. Avoid mixing incompatible coolants and replace the radiator cap and thermostat as needed to maintain proper pressure and flow. Promptly address any signs of leaks or overheating to prevent engine damage.

  • Flush and replace coolant at manufacturer-recommended intervals
  • Inspect hoses, clamps, and mounting hardware regularly
  • Replace radiator cap and thermostat when replacing the radiator
  • Respond quickly to leaks, low coolant, or temperature spikes

Who is this for: The DWVO DWRD1038 radiator is intended for Nissan owners and professional technicians seeking an OEM-form replacement for Altima and Maxima models listed above. It suits drivers who want a durable aluminum core with improved fin density and TIG-welded construction for dependable everyday and high-load cooling. If you need a direct-fit, serviceable replacement that mirrors factory specifications, this radiator is built for that purpose.
