SG8

I use this to lube brake caliper slide pins. This is the best type of lube for the job. Other types tend to get dry and pasty over time.

Good for track days/ high heat

Nice large tube. Good value for the money. Recently used product to lubricate bushings installed on a rack and pinion for my 2001 Toyota Tundra.

Great product. Turns a light purple tone colour when applied.

I've used a lot of different greases for brake caliper pins, shoe adjusters, and other brake hardware. Aerosol lithium grease was convenient but just didn't hold up. Specialty brake greases (purple ceramic grease or that green super-special brake grease) gave inconsistent and usually lackluster results despite their price. Some made rubber parts swell and stick despite promising not to do that. Others dried out.A few years ago I did what I should have done all along and went back to using Sil-Glyde. It's what I was taught to use in technical college when I studied auto repair 20+ years ago. It worked well back then, lubricating effectively without damaging any rubber parts.It works just as well today. Every time I do a brake job all the caliper pins, slides, adjusters, and backing plate friction points get a dab of Sil-Glyde. It works just as well today as it did 20 years ago, too.I also use it for lubricating o-rings, plastic fittings and threads, etc. It seems to be pretty benign around plastic and rubber and I've never had a problem with it causing any embrittlement or swelling. It also works to keep rubber seals pliable. In a pinch I've used it on light bulb sockets to keep corrosion at bay, though I prefer dielectric grease if given the option.I have entirely too many different oils, greases, and other lubricants in my stash, but if I had to throw the majority away tomorrow, Sil-Glyde would still be on the KEEP pile.
