Ok so I was doing a normal Oil change on my car and I decided to check my Radiator fluid levels and they all seemed fine but while I was checking out my Radiator I noticed the Upper Tank was starting to show small whitish cracks. I consulted my mechanic friend and he said my radiator was getting old and I'll eventually need to replace it. My question is would I be able to just replace the tanks of should I replace the entire thing?

The automatic transmission required a cooler, which attaches to the transmission with a pair of hard lines to the bottom of the radiator. Most aftermarket radiators will have the transmission cooler, and simply leave it capped off when installed in a manual car.

So yes, make sure your new radiator has an oil cooler.
