Gokhan, Unfortunately that's out of the scope of the project- the device is a low cost, disposable unit.

There is more to tribology than temperature range...
Hello,
I'm using Silicone Oil as a viscous fluid in an application to control speed through an adjustable valve. The device needs to function at temperatures from approximately 15C-25C so the VI of the fluid is important to ensure that the speed characteristics remain similar at 15C and 25C...
