How to Replace the Radiator & Cooling Fan on a 89 - 96 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera SL with a 3.1L V6

[@ronniel.7014]

Two things,this is a GM car,use the Dextron coolant.However,there is the 150,000 miles coolant that is for virtually all cars available,that can be used. Also,use the opportunity of when the radiator is removed to clean the back of the condenser with ac coil cleaner in a can that foams up.Let it set a few minutes then rinse with a GENTLE stream of water.Sure,more dirt accumulates on the front but I'm sure there is some on the back as well.And,that allows more airflow for your radiator.

There is a motor mount right over the top of the radiator. How do you deal with that? Do you have to support the engine from underneath before loosening that bolt? I'm glad you put the part at the end about making sure air is out of the system.

Hi! Thank you for the video, is my first time that I will change a radiator. It is the same for the cutlass 3.3l?

What is the part number for this specific radiator on your car please?

What is the part number for this specific radiator please because for some reason it’s look like 1990-1991 are different or something I can’t understand. As there is 2 more holes on the other side other than the transmission pipes , but there is nothing connected to those 2 other 2 holes.

My car run normal but I notice the gauge sometimes pass half and goes below half when fan kicks on I checked with thermometer gun fans are kicking on at 208F so is that normal And which sensor controls the gauge in the cluster or send signal to gauge and Also can I get coolant temperature sensor that open or send signal on lower temperature to the ECM
