I need to replace the radiator in my 95 Accord EX Wagon, 4-cylinder, auto.
transmission. The factory radiator is a Nippondenso. A local used parts
dealer has a used Toyo radiator with low mileage, but tells me it won't fit
because of the different fan placement. My mechanic says the Toyo should
work okay and I heard that from someone else.

So will the Toyo work? Thanks for any recommendations!

You should really stick with OEM

Dunno about the Accord but on my '92 Integra I found the Toyo has different
mount points for the fan shrouds from the Denso part. If you get the
junkyard part with the fan shrouds included, it'll probably work but also
check for auto-trans cooling arrangement. That was sometimes the reason
for the two different radiators.
