Front brake caliper slider pins lube question
Andy A:
It it OK to use this silicone grease on the front brake caliper slider pins to lube them up? I already have this handy.
Or is there a recommended grease to use?
deviator:
It looks fine with rubber but there is no mention of temperature.

Like this. Don't use copper grease.
Carfix:
I have started using red rubber grease on the caliper sliders on my cars after years of using copper grease.
It doesn't effect the rubber covers, has not deterioated like copper grease over time and has remained stable with high temeratures.

I think but I'm not sure -40degC to +200degC found in this link. https://www.lubesetc.com/silicone-grease-lubricants-22-c.asp. Will send them an email.

It'll probably be fine. The Omega is hardly a point and squirt car.
