This is to upgrade the fan clutch by changing out the oil to something heavier. It'll make it much more efficient especially in warmer temps. The two things you will need are 1) fan clutch and 2) 2 tubes of 6000cst oil. part# 08816-06001. If you live in warmer places like Arizona, it might be good to use 10000cst oil.

The fan clutch is located on the fan. Don't laugh, a lot of people don't know that.




Here is how to get it out.

1) First loosen the pivot screw that is connected to the alternator.




2) Then losen the fastening screw on the belt tensioning bolt.




3) Then loosen the belt tensioning bolt. I couldn’t get a good pic of the bolt because I couldn’t get my camera in there.




4) Now the belts are lose and you can remove them or keep them there if you like. If you haven’t changed your belt in awhile. now would be a good time to do it.


5)The fan clutch is fastened by 4 bolts connected to a pully wheel. The tricky part is losening the screws. You’ll find when you try to losen it, the entire assembly turns. I found the easiest way to get the bolt off is to hammer the wrench imitating an impact wrench.




6) Now remove the 2 screws holding the fan housing in place.




7) Now the fan assembly slides right out.




8) Take the fan assembly apart by removing the 4 bolts.




9) Now take apart the fan clutch by removing all the screws surrounding it. These screws are fastened pretty tight. I had to use a ratchet with a screw driver tip to get leverage. At this point, if you strip any of the srews, stop and place the others back. It’s not worth going through the trouble and try to get the stripped screw off. Just put everything back together.






10) Once the screws are removed, you’re not going to be able to take the fan clutch apart because of the suction. I used a plyer to get them apart. Make sure the fan clutch has been sitting there with the blue side down so the oil can drip out of the top half. Be careful not to damage the gasket.




11) Now you have to empty out the 3K oil. I leaned it upside-down in a bucket for a few hours to let all the oil out.

12) Now you want to put the new oil in. You have to order 2 tubes. I used 6000cst oil, but if you live in the desert areas like Arizona or places where temps reach 100, you may want to use 10000cst. Use both of the tubes entirely. Just squirt it into the 4 openings.




That's it. Now just reassemble everything back together and you have a fan clutch that will last longer and do a better job in high temps or when you load your engine. If you're going to change out the fan clutch anyway, I would really recommend this since it's so easy. It's so easy, even a caveman can do it.
