Yeah PRICEY for sure! $22.50 for a 1/2 oz. bottle. That is $5760 a
galllon! The stealer could not tell me how much was in the bottle.
I was thinking 8 oz for the price, but I found it online tonight! 18
ml or about 1/2 oz.
But if it makes the fan run, it is a lot less than a new clutch, post
Q. I bought one 8 or 10 years ago from Q for the first SDL. That
one I think was about $130, but I heard now they are over $200.
Anyone know if Lobby Hobby sells RC trucks and the oil? Other than
online, I don't know anyplace to buy stuff for RC trucks.
The Toada stuff is pricey, which is why I got mine at a local hobby
shop that specializes in RC trucks. Apparently, they use the stuff
in their gear trains on the trucks. I still have the bottle in the
package, as I never got the fan clutch off the car. I paid $6.99
for it about a year and a half ago.
Not having gone through with the drain and refill I can't say much
more than this. I know it's time consuming because the stuff is so
thick.

No oil, no fan, not cool!
Toada stealer didn't have the oil. They ordered a bottle. $22.50
for what Dan said was $6! (the porch writeup says it takes 2
bottles!) I sure hope it is a bigger bottle!
Hobby shop did not have any. They had 1/2 oz bottles of what is
probably M1 for $9
I checked several auto parts shops. None could crossover the
toada number. None have the oil
Working on the (126) aux fan later, I found the female part of the
2 pin connector that resides around the A/C receiver/dryer had one
pin socket broken out. Open circuit. no fan. I ended up cutting
out the plug ends and splicing in the wires. This is the heap, so
quick and dirty wins over doing it right.
I have a bottle in the shop, I'll look at the details. I think
it's 10,000W oil, believe it or not. A little bottle at a local
hobby shop that sells stuff for RC cars and trucks had it fr like
$6.00.

Some time ago there was a discussion of oil spec. and viscosity
for the fan clutch. I suspect the fan on my 126 need an oil
change and fill.
Does anyone have the spec and amount for the oil?
Answered my own Q!
