    what's wrong with sticky viscous belt fan?

    I compared two same vehicles, when I turn off the engine, the belt fan still spins, while the other vehicle stops spinning immediately after turning off the engine.

    should the fan locks up despite the engine is still cold?

    The fan should lock when the engine is hot. If it's always locked or never locks, there's a problem.

    AFAIK, silicon oil lang katapat nyan. Auto shops would know what this is.

    rion, yung clutchfan ko, ganyan din ang prob.. may times na freewheeling siya sobra, ginawa, pinaalis ko, at pinadagdagan ko ng silicone oil.. mga 1-3, ikaw na bumili ng oil, 100-200 lang yun, sa cardomain(sa sig ko) ko shows kung panu nilagyan ng oil yung clutch fan...

    mga 1-2 lang, kasi mahirap kung sumobra.. malalaman mo kung tama lang kung naiikot mo parin ang fan, pero di siya kasing luwag ng yuna mong inikot freely.. and dapat magkakaroon ng malakas na parang humihigop pag nirevolution mo...

    ps to check kung kailangan na dagdagan ng silicone oil ang clutch fan:

    patakbuhin mo ang makina....at idle speed and at running temp., not cold...

    using a thick slipper, try mo pigilan ang fan.. kung huminto/napigilan mo, then yun ang sign...dagdagan mo ng oil..

    pag lumaban yung fan pag pinigilan mo, means ok siya
