CRC 05361 Silaramic Brake System Grease - 5 oz.

Purchased this grease to regrease my slide pins on my 2021 Toyota Camry. I purchased the car brand new and did my first brake job on it roughly a year and a half ago. I was recommended an incorrect brake grease by a coworker (funny because I work in the automotive industry, specifically repairs), and had noticed something was up with my brakes after that job. This was also my first Toyota, and after reading on the forums I had learned the grease I used wasn't compatible with the rubber bushings used on Toyota slide pins. Toyota uses a "lithium soap grease", traditional grease will make the rubber swell. This specific grease was recommended on the forums, as it's compatible with EPDM and nitrile. As I dug into this regrease job, I found the rubber did swell. The slide pins were seizing up. I replaced the rubber bushings and boots, regreased. Took it out for a test drive and feels like brand new! I would definitely recommend this grease, worked great on my Toyota. I'm using it for the foreseeable future!

Great product and value for money. It is easy to apply (tooth paste/ointment consistency). Sealed so you will need a cutter to cut open the tip. Has a consistent smooth texture, not too thick or talky. Did both front and rear pad slap and caliper pin cleaning. Used up about 1/3 of the big tube. Love the ease of use and ability to lube up my brakes. After 100 miles of driving so far, I have zero noise and issues from this product. Very happy I purchased this and knowing this silicone ceramic brake lube has such high temperature point, I can brake without any worries!

Hi All, I was jumping into a brake job on my Ford Flex, and needed some silicone lube or spray when I spotted this tube of grease-lube with silicone and ceramic combo. Some lube is helpful in contact areas for squeak free operation, so knowing CRC makes incredible products, I got it. It is bigger that the picture seems to look, and the tip can be nipped off with a blade or you could poke a hole to worm out what you want. I put a dab on my finger tip and smeared it on the hardware and was impressed with the quality of the slickery. You can tell it will stay in place at high temps. Good stuff.

Actually it probably is cheap compared to buying the same volume in those little packets at the auto parts store. Brake grease is one of those products that people tend to have very strong opinions about. CRC Silaramic gets pretty good reviews everywhere. It won't harm rubber parts (or so the manufacturer and most reviewers say) and it withstands high temperatures, two of the most important characteristics of a good brake grease. It's a little thicker than I expected but still was easy to apply. This five ounce tube is probably three lifetime supplies for me, but I'll use it for other things around the house and leave the remainder to my heirs.

This is my go to brake grease now. It doesn't seem to swell rubber and I just like using the squeeze tube rather than a can and brush style. It's just cleaner and easy to use. Grease holds on great and lasts a long time. Like other reviewers pointed out they claim really high temperature but it's silicone so it can't be that high. If you look up the data sheet on crc own site the flashpoint is 550 degree F. They list the working temp at 3000 degrees and flashpoint at 550. I am not sure how that works out but either way it's a great brake grease.

Recommended for my Toyota brakes.

Most cars built post 1985 rely on freely sliding caliper bolts and pads to keep pad wear even and braking smooth. This lube is designed for high temperature applications and super easy to work with. You may not use the full tube in your lifetime if you are a home mechanic maintaining 1 or 2 cars. It should store fine for many years so its worth buying the larger tube if you are the family or neighborhood mechanic.

Have always used this for every brake job I've done. Never have had any issues with stuck slide pins or squeaking retaining clips. Must have for brake jobs. A little on the pricey side but worth it to get the job done correct.
