You can likely run peanut oil in your Hinkley motor as well but there are better oils for the application is the point. Only with brakes you want the best performance because they can save your life.especially if riding 9/10's in the mountains when doing constant heavy braking where lithium grease will run like sewing machine oil at temps that will burn your hands.ītw, to expand this thread because its woefully long of tooth.I have run both Rotella and Mobil 1 and hands down Mobil 1 is better. Type of grease does matter contrary to what some believe and best to use the right spec oil/grease for the application.whether its an automatic transmission or a differential in a car. In some ways its more important than what oil you use in your engine. Don't use expensive grease with a needlessly exotic formula.īraking for cars and motorcycles is what is considered safety critical. A small container will last you for 30 years including all the brake jobs you do on your cars. You can either use lithium-based grease, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) grease, or polyurea grease on brake caliper pins. Go to your local autoparts store and ask the counter man what caliper pin grease they sell. You should use grease that is specifically designed for use on brake components. So for those without a lot of experience and who want to do what is best without breaking the bank: The characteristics of the grease to mitigate squeal aka change the resonant frequency of pads is very different than what is desirable for caliper pins. Guys saying its OK to use lithium grease and even obscurely spec'ed grease to be applied to the back of pads to mitigate squeal. Meets Mil Spec #907E.Ĭlick to thread has a little of everything.
