Overheating under load? Gen3 Jimny thermo coupling radiator fan removal and repair

Does your car have a thermo coupling fan and overheat under load? May be time to change the oil, not the fan. Easy enough to do, and for the sake of £5, worth trying before replacing.

** UPDATE ** Had a couple of days in Wales with trailer (4hr trip there and 4hrs back), and pulling trailer on some lanes. Managed to go on the few hot days between the rain and no overheating, so seems to have worked.

Great and helpful video

Greate job. What exactly oil did you use and what are the symptoms of a bad fan?

Hi, a picture of the oil is shown in the video, used in remote control cars I think. The car started to overheat under load, and felt as if there was no resistance when hot. Cheers
