Fan hub

Would any one know what oil an how much goes in fan hub thanks

On a general opinion, not knowing your car yr or gen.


A couple drops when you do a oil change is standard procedure. Whatever you do an oil change with is fine.

I have a 35pu with a 59 at motor thanks for the help I took the fan hub apart to clean an paint no oil in hub how much when dry thanks

Just oil the hard bearings when installing, or add some oil to the cup. It doesn't take a lot.


You could put some lithium grease on it when installing.

Scroll down the list of threads and you will come to one titled "oil bath fan hub". The last post was yesterday so it is not very far down the list. This thread has a lot of information about servicing the hub, especially the post by Van Pelt sales.

I run old style bearings and redid mine. Probably 60 yrs since the last time it was changed.

To answer your question. "Add 1oz of engine oil turn fan until oil hole
is at bottom, draining excess oil."

Ford originally recommended regular motor oil, but changed that later to 85-90 weight gear oil. The same gear oil used in your transmission.
