I believe it to be a very special kind of "wax". It behaves
opposite to normal liquids. When it is cold it is thin, and
becomes thick when hot... allowing the fan to run free
when the engine is cold, but producing drag and causing
the fan to spin when the engine is hot.

I doubt if it can be obtained as a service part Undecided

Cheers... jondee86
