Just thought to bring this discussion back up, particularly about the Infinity fan and re oiled OEM hub. Yesterday we Melbournians were treated to a 30 degree day. It only took 270 days for this to happen but hey, we got one. Anyhoo, yesterday I got to actually see if any difference was made, from the 1.5 bottles of silicone fluid in the hub and the infinity fan. The answer is yes. For the better? Slightly. My temps usually sit or around 85-90c at 100k's. And easily climbs to around 100c when I sit at around 110k's.
Well it still did this, but I did notice as the day was hotter, when slowing the temps would drop fast, and when driving around at 80ks I could hear the fan had engaged and where I would be sitting on 85'c it was now at 80c. Funny this about this, I drove the exact same road today, it was a cool day, and the engine fan wasn't engaged and the water temps was 85'c. And when I heard the fan go off, the temp would go back up to 85c. So what I have done has helped. No question. But I think I still need more oil in the hub. So I will be doing this soon, I hope. But radiator removal is needed for this, so its atelast a 12 stubby job. I have also heard good results from using a Colorado 4JJ1 engine hub and fan, bolts straight on too. But since I have more oil here, and no funds left , I will do this instead.
