What grease for brake caliper slide pins?

[AccordK24]

Doing a brake job soon. I picked up some Sil-Glyde from NAPA the other day after seeing great reviews on Amazon. Turns out, it's apparently only got a very low silicone content?

Thinking about returning it and getting something else, such as this Ford XG-3-A silicone brake caliper grease.

http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Ford-Silicone-Dielectric-Compound/dp/B000NU7OZG/

Or should I just stick with the Sil-Glyde?

sil-glyde.

Q.

My Napa guy sold me some Kleen-Flo Eze-Slide Part# 331. I've used it only a few times. I think it works good. Looking at the MSDS it only contains 5-10% silicone.

Use the Sil-Glyde, everyone else does.

Super-lube Silicone or Kleen-Flo Eze-Slide

3m silicone/dielectric paste, nice brush applicator and the tub will last the rest of your life

I've had good results with both but switched completely to the XG3A a few years back.

Jet-Lube has a silicone paste, also. And for much less money. Somebody needs to test mule it.

Did you even look at the results before you posted your condescending response?

The top 5 results are 7, 4, 12, 4, and 11 years old, respectively.

This or the Motorcraft Xg3a.

I prefer the Motorcraft product.

That's the point

There's already at least 12 years' worth of discussion about this...

Same here, but I have the metal can version.

This exactly...

Syl glyde for the caliper pins, use anti-seize only on the bolt threads, not the slide pin surfaces.

was using Dow corning 111 and recently changed to Super Lube Silicone Lubricating brake grease with PTFE.
