I'm sure Stevo will know - he overhauled my viscous clutch when I ordered the new cylinder head, and I believe he adjusted it so it works at a lower temperature to keep the car cooler - might be wise asking him what he did to it.

or get silicon fluid from a model shop - as radiocontrolled cars have limited slip differentials these days!,
I got some bottles of it a while back - just get correct wt of the fluid. probably cheaper than toytoa parts counter. and it worked well in my fan clutch.

heres where i got it: http://www.gmmodels.co.uk/acatalog/Shock_Oils.html

cant remember how much was in each bottle

the silicone oil from model shops is for diffs in rc cars. it comes in 100ml bottles at around 5 quid a pop. trouble is it comes as 1000 or 10,000 weight and the fan needs 3000 wt... i make that 2 bottles of 1000wt and 1 of 10000wt making 3250 wt?

just a local motor factors?... or take it to a GARAGE!... any monkey can do it!
