I drill and tap a very small hole in chamber #1 and fill with 10.000 cst silicone oil (Toyota). Then I seal the hole with a headless Allen screw.

When filling with a dental irrigating syringe, I remove the BMS, and the pin that the BMS acts on is pushed out by the filling pressure. A light touch with the Dremel and I shorten the pin ~ 1 mm. and re-insert it. This causes it to engage at a lower temp. Replace the BMS and you've made a "tropicalized" Mercedes fan clutch.
This is from a previous post of mine. I filled it in one hole until it came out the other. Don't lose the pin!! Mine works great.
