Just wondering, will a '91 radiator fit right in a '87 ? My rx has been sitting for a while before i got it so, i'm guessing i should change the radiator.

Coolant needs to be changed every 3 years, if I remember correctly (50:50 chance of that). Though I know there are people who change it annually to be safe and to keep it nice and clean. If it's been sitting for more than 5 years you might be in trouble (?). Otherwise I'd just flush it and give it a shot. Maybe leak test it or flow test it somehow.

The car has been driven on a weekly basis, just not a lot. Like I said, I think it's the original radiator from '87. One thing I know is that the car has never overheated.. I'm in the midst of doing a full tune up, but am concerned about how old the radiator is, seeing as though these cars like to overheat.
