The Koyorad Radiator for Hino 500 Series FC manual trucks from 2011-on keeps the cooling system in check when the cab is loaded and the revs sit near 2,000 rpm. The 500 mm high and 620 mm wide core gives a solid wall of fins in front of the fan, handy for long pulls with 12 tonne on the back. The 48 mm core thickness keeps coolant temperatures steady in traffic or on the highway.

You get 55 mm inlet and outlet diameters so the factory hoses line up without drama and clamp properly under typical 15 psi system pressure. The built-in transmission cooler section supports the driveline when the truck works hard in 40°C regional heat. The size and layout match standard Hino 500 FC mounts, so it is a smart buy for fleets chasing straightforward maintenance and predictable cooling performance.

Q: Does this radiator suit all Hino 500 FC manual models from 2011?

It suits Hino 500 Series FC models with manual transmission from 2011-onwards. Always cross-check your VIN and existing radiator dimensions before ordering. Different cab or emissions packages can sometimes change cooling layouts. If measurements differ from 500 x 620 x 48 mm, contact our crew for guidance.

Q: What coolant should I use with this radiator?

Use the coolant type and mix ratio specified by Hino for the 500 Series FC. Manufacturer-approved coolant helps control corrosion inside the 48 mm core tubes. It also supports correct boiling point and freeze protection for your region. Mixing types can create sludge and block the fine fin passages.

Q: Can I reuse my existing radiator hoses?

You can usually reuse hoses if they match the 55 mm inlet and outlet and are in good condition. Inspect each hose for cracks, soft spots, and swollen sections before reinstalling. Replace any suspect clamps to maintain grip on the 55 mm pipes. Fresh hoses are a smart move if the old radiator has already failed.

Q: Does this radiator include a transmission cooler?

This radiator includes provision for a transmission cooler circuit. The built-in cooler helps control gearbox oil temperatures when the truck works under heavy load. Always reconnect lines carefully and flush the system if the old radiator failed internally. Check for leaks after warm-up and re-tension fittings as needed.

Suitable for Hino 500 Series FC models with manual transmission from 2011-onwards. Installation requires standard workshop tools and mechanical know-how for radiator replacement on heavy trucks. Reuse or replace existing hoses sized for 55 mm inlet and outlet as required. Always refill with coolant specified by Hino for the 500 Series FC and bleed the cooling system according to manufacturer procedures after fitment.
