It can be tough to know when to have your Acura NSX radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but it’s vital to know what to look for. Your radiator is part of the cooling system.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 1993 Acura NSX is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. In fact, Acura recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad.
