Rich is correct.
Here is an example (I picked Chevron because it was convenient, and I use it.
)As you can see from the example, 15w/40 is a superior lubricant over the 10w/30, and this will be pretty much the norm across the market spectrum. The “LE” designation is intended for use in post 2007 engines.
(I was surprised to see the Delo 710 lubricant listed as this is an oil specially formulated for use in our 4,000 HP EMD 710G engines).

Your repair costs will largely be dictated by how well your cooling system has been maintained and what type of coolant you have used. Small particles of casting sand from the engine can erode a radiator away, as well as trashing water pumps and seals.
Good luck.

Radiator repair shops as we know them are a dying breed, mostly due to the EPA lead regulations and manufacturers going throw-away thermoplastic.
I found one shop in the Greater Seattle area that still does it, and they even repair plastic and aluminum radiators and heater cores, but as I found out, they can't perform miracles. Had to buy a whole new heater for the mini-ex.

Easy.
Measure the overall height, width, and depth, then measure the height and width of the core. Then calculate the total volume (in quarts or liters) of the top and bottom tanks. Next count the number of rows of tubes in the core (seriously). The radiator with the highest values is the one that will be interchangeable heat transfer wise, assuming the mounts are compatible and everything else fits.
If everything is the same between the two radiators then you have your answer.

What's bizarre is that there isn't any message.
The grammar and spelling police just gave you a ticket.
I get it, it's a hit count.

Hope you'll be around for a long time Eric.
Attention Conservatives, talk about following the constitution: The House GOP has passed the most extreme national anti-choice bill we've seen in a decade. Not only is this legislation blatantly unconstitutional, it could erase decades of progress for women's rights.

I'm a veteran too, but I quit that job many years ago and I don't do it anymore. Period. Just leave it be. The US is doing just fine. What you don't get is that that person is exercising their first amendment rights. Oooh rahhh. Smh.
