Hello guys!
So I have a kzj78 Prado with a 1kz-te and just over 272k km. I just replaced my water pump, put a 78 degree thermostat in and did a flush and put 60 percent Toyota glycol in. This is my first summer owning the truck, with AC on low and going up even a small hill my gauge starts to climb. Knowing that these things like to crack heads it makes me pretty nervous! I have read about the viscous fan clutch needing new oil and that you can adjust the temperature the clutch kicks on at. I am going to pick up some silicon oil for the fan clutch but I'm wondering what valume to put in the clutch and how to adjust the temperature it kicks on at. Any other suggestions? Am I missing something?
Cheers guys.
