AUTOSAVER88 Radiator Compatible with 2012-2016 Chevrolet Impala

In this review the AUTOSAVER88 radiator is judged as a direct, affordable replacement for owners of Chevrolet Impala models with the 3.6L V6 engine from 2012 through 2016 (including 2014-2016 Impala Limited). The bottom line: it is aimed at DIYers and independent shops who need a direct fit replacement that mirrors OEM form and function, with emphasis on cooling efficiency and a straightforward swap for the original radiator. Buyers should confirm vehicle compatibility before ordering.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Built to match the fit for 2012-2016 Chevrolet Impala and 2014-2016 Impala Limited 3.6L V6, reducing the need for modifications.
• OEM Replacement Number: Supplied as a replacement for OEM part number 22809024 so it can be matched to service parts lists.
• High Efficiency Core: Features a high density multi-louvered fin aluminum core to improve heat dissipation in hot or cold operating conditions.
• Leakproof Construction: Uses a high-grade plastic tank with an aluminum core and is subjected to leak tests to help ensure longevity.
• Direct Fit Installation: Designed as an OE standard complete radiator for easier installation by a professional or experienced DIY mechanic.
• Package Contents: Ships with one new complete radiator and a user manual so installers have basic guidance on the unit.

Who It's For

This radiator is best for Impala owners or independent repair shops looking for a straightforward replacement that matches the OEM part number and fits the 3.6L V6 platform without trimming or major adaptations. It suits customers who prioritize cooling performance and value a product that is tested for leaks and built with an aluminum core.

It is less suitable for owners who expect included accessories beyond the radiator itself, since the radiator cap is not included, or for those unwilling to have a professional perform the replacement when needed. Also, if corrosion resistance beyond standard aluminum construction is a primary concern, buyers should consider specialist alloy or factory-upgraded options.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Leak tests and high-grade plastic tank construction aim to reduce early failures and improve durability.

Cons

• Some customers reported mixed experiences with leakage, so real-world results can vary.
• Radiator cap is not included, so purchasers may need to supply or reuse the existing cap.
