Doing a brake job on my car and I wanted to lube up the slide pins so they dont freeze up. Whats the best type of grease or oil to use on them?

I actually used Urea grease from the Honda dealership. I know, I know.. Bad. But that stuff works really well. I felt awkward walking into the dealership after getting out the tibby.

Use Synthetic Ultra Disc Brake Caliper Lube by Permatex. The grease is green in color. They sell it in little 1 time use packets at the autoparts stores or you can buy a bottle of it.



This is the stuff Im talking about.

I use a copper based anti seize. Will not dry up and very difficult to remove.
