Where are you all getting the fluid? I've checked all over town and no one carries it.
I found this but I dunno if its decent quality or not.

Yeah, I went to all the local shops. Non of them carried it for some reason.
I fix Japanese copier for 21 year.
Snap-on screwdrivers are the best tool I ever had (the one I actually use is a 12 years old tool
Just my 2 cents
BTW, very interesting thread

LOL, I worked on Canon copiers from 1980 through 1996.
You know what silicon oil is !
Toshiba first, Canon from 1990 to 1999, Sharp, Kyocera, copier break as network troubleshooter and now Sharp for 3 years in Canada
Do the eaton clutches actually say eaton on them? I just changed the fluid in mine and I believe it is a aftermarket unit 
It defiantly works better with 10k in it than before but something is odd. The temps are actually 3-5 degrees warmer than before but the fan is spinning much faster than before. Don't really understand why.

Is this oil OK for my fan? It was only $3.99 for 60ml

You are right I asked for 10,000 I didn't even notice! I'll have to return it.
97 FZJ80 Setup:
- Late-model blue hub
- ~45ml of 30,000 cst OFNA silicone
- valve timed per LT's instructions (half open @ ~95˚F)
- new foam weather stripping along top of radiator to minimize bypass air between top of radiator and condensor
- 99˚F ambient, 23% relative humidity, idling in the shade for ~15 min.
- AC set to recirculate
Result:
- 53˚F vent temp
Previously:
- fan clutch timed for approx. 110˚F
- ~35ml of 10,000 cst
- ~90˚F ambient,
- the air was tepid during lower rpm and/or lower speed operations, particularly stop-and-go driving.

This past weekend I drained the 18 month old blue clutch and put in 35ml of 20k. The fan roars for 1 minute at start-up then kicks in when hot. Today it was 104. AC, Fan and 12" pusher fan ran great all day. Engine temps on the gauge showed about 40 to 45%. AC was cold and I'm impressed. I've never really heard the fan like this before. Fuel mileage will probably suffer a bit in the summer, but engine temps are controlled.
Tons of information available may I suggest search young jedi

the blue hub clutch is the current replacement for the original black one. It's what you will get if you order a new clutch from Toyota.
Last time I visited this thread 7,000-10,000 cst seemed to be the thickest people were putting in. I'm going to have to up mine since the 7000 isn't really cutting it. Some of you are running 10k-20k now?
