If you remove the bi-metallic strip and the pin, you can add oil through the 
hole the pin came from.

I used 3000 cps viscosity silicone oil, got a really small bottle at a hobby 
store.  They sell it for remote controlled car differentials.  I think the cost 
was $10 or so.

I found the best way to introduce the thick oil into the small hole was to heat 
the clutch assembly with a heat gun, then allow the oil to be drawn in as the 
fan cooled.  Someone posted on the Web somewhere the fill capacity; if you 
exceed that and overfill, the fan may be locked on even when cold.

You can test the fill level on the bench if you clamp the clutch in a vice and 
test how hard the rotation is when heated with the heat gun versus when cold.
