There isn't a fluid on earth that doesn't change viscosity with temperature change.

But shear thinning is a whole different thing :D

You know when you stir paint, it gets thinner? Its viscosity decreases, well so does silicone, and it gets worse the higher viscocity (@25 degrees) it is. Shampoo does it, as does non drip gloss, thats why it doesn't drip!

I actually measured the viscocity of AE 30wt and Losi 30wt and it was almost identical.
