Default Radiator Replacement Options?

Re: 2006 Gs 430

Hello Everyone! I've gone th/ several posts but need to ask options for a replacement radiator. For those who've replaced theirs what brand did you go w/. I believe OEM is by Denso? Has anyone gone w/ Koyo or Mishioto? How's the fitment?

I'll most likely order OEM from Butler Lexus of Atlanta or MyLparts.com

Anyone have recommendation for online sites for OEM?

A Good New Year To All

Used Koyo in my 2nd Gen GS. Whatever you choose make sure you get the matching radiator cap

My radiator the top plastic end cap was leaking, I just bought an end cap, and seal from the dealer and had a radiator shop repair for me. But if the radiator is pricey you can always go used from www.car-parts.com

Just go to rock auto . Com and get one.. not being rude but don’t make something simple into something complex. $120 for gs350 and $199 for gs460. Replace, add coolant and done.

Hello Everyone, I've compared prices for an OEM radiator locally and on the web. Due to the pandemic they are in low supply and fetching higher prices. I believe in replacing w/ OEM not some bull**** from Rock Auto.

I used Lexus of South Atlanta because their prices are significantly lower & free shipping.

Toyota doesn’t manufacture radiators…
nearly all items on rock auto are the actual manufacturers of OEM parts. Denso is sold on rock auto, denso is an oem provider for Toyota, so I guess denso is crap by your logic?
