An apparatus and method for estimating a parameter of interest in a downhole fluid using a fluid analyzer. The fluid analyzer may include: a electrically conductive element configured to vibrate in response to an energy source, a housing to enclose the electrically conductive element and receive a fluid, and a sensor configured to respond to shear waves induced in the fluid by the vibration of the electrically conductive element. The electrically conductive element may be relaxed during operation. Also disclosed is a method of use for the apparatus.
