what do you lube slider pins with?

I use the small bucket/container of CRC synthetic caliper grease

I use anti-seize compound.

We were talking about this last week and this is what Sam Strano had to say:

"Anti-seize is better than nothing, but not what you want to use. It doesn't much like the heat. Synthetic brake caliper grease is best."

Synthetic brake caliper grease is what I use also. I tried the antiseize, and it eventually turns to dry powder when it overheats.

I never thought about that aspect of it, as I'm generally pretty easy on my brakes. But it makes perfect sense that this will eventually happen. OTOH, most any grease I'm aware of, even the run of the mill synthetics, will wash out eventually and usually it only takes a couple of drives through a good rain to make that happen. I do know of grease that won't, but it's $$$$$$$.

This is what I've got. Not the cheapest stuff, but it's an 8 oz. container so it'll probably last a lifetime.

Hmm judging from what Sam and Jim have to say, sounds like you should stick with the high temp synthetic brake caliper grease. The grease needs to withstand extremely high brake heat. Not sure if anti seize does that....

"better than nothing".. Peanut butter is also probably better than nothing

Well, I've done the pure sil glyde caliper grease and the above and never seize. None are perfect. But I'm gonna say that sil glyde isn't what it's cracked up to be. Seems to just wash out of the caliper on a daily driver. Might be better though in a fair weather car that might do some high heat braking.

Here is what I found that works really well under extreme temps.

I wish it came in a smaller quantity.

I agree....


Also, I've been using "Super Lube" for a number of years. Just flushed the old brake fluid and re-lubed my sliders a couple of days ago.
