Hi im wondering what brand or company makes the correct grease to use for caliper pins? Besides the OEM stuff. Ive been looking around for a specific product to use and all I am finding is "use a high temperature grease". Are there any specific brands sold at like Autozone or CAP that I can use? So far Ive only had the dealership recomend one, but it costs $58 for a tub of this stuff which would last me more than a lifetime. Any recomendations ?

Use synthetic lube for calipers. Synthetic lube is required for rubber components applications. Other types of grease or lubricants contains petroleum solvents that corrupts rubber.

When I helped my buddy do the brakes on his VR-4, he brought some little $0.25 packets he got from autozone. They were specifically for greasing caliper pins and seemed to be good stuff. They were black, but I don't remember the brand.

Old thread revival....

Here is a pic of what my driver side rear rotor looks like...new rotors, pads and that caliper is new within a year (10,000 miles)



Now onto the "Lubricant" Part. Is this stuff ok to use on the slide pins? I was told it was but in reading the back of it, it says is contains some sort of petrolium. I am going to pull the brakes off tonight and see if the slide pins have seized causing the uneven wear or if the caliper is shot.



Or should I have gotten This Stuff.....Or something different??



EDIT...Ah well, i went with the gray stuff since I had it in the garage. I had some on the slide pins from a year ago and they were still moving freely now. As for the uneven brake wear...the caliper was seized.
