AGS BK12 Sil-Glide Brake Lubricant (12oz)

Good items

Great lube definitely glydes ;)

As expected. Ordered the tub of lubricant.

Expensive but worth it. The braking on my old Camry was spongy for while. I later found I was lubing with an inferior product. The reviews on this product led me to try it. The brakes on my car are now much better.

Does what it needs to do

I honestly tried to avoid buying this stuff, but I must admit that even brake greases that are supposed to be good for all brake applications (including the very expensive Permatex stuff), it's this that everyone recommends. I had recently watched a YouTube video where the mechanic I follow did a short on this product (it wasn't even a promotional video) and he said to not use anything else... but Sil Glyde for brake slide pins. I think people often get hung up on what works with rubber... and this stuff *is* safe to use in applications with rubber (ie, it won't cause it to degrade), but the magic of this stuff is that it also stands up to the very harsh environment (read: extremely HOT) where many greases simply start to get hard/solidify and then bind up your slide pins. I had this happen with a car that I recently worked on, the rear brake slide pins became all bound up in solidified grease - I needed to use pliers just to pull the slide pin out, and then I had to use a Dremel-style rotary tool to clean up the rust on the slide pin (as well as the corrosion inside the slide pin caliper recess). It was a mess... all from using a grease that didn't hold up. So, here's the deal -- this "big" 12 oz tub of Sil Glyde from Amazon is about the best price-per-ounce deal you'll find on Sil Glyde grease, anywhere. Also, you can use it as a general silicone grease, esp when it comes the grease applied on or near rubber. So, again, you don't have to be a mechanic to buy a 12 oz tub of this stuff - just use it for other applications, as it's great for many other applications beyond vehicle brake slide pins.
