I used some Valvoline Synthetic grease on my slide pins on my rear discs. The manual itself says "silicon grease". Is it safe/ok to run with the synthetic grease or shoud I remove and hunt down some slicon grease?




Provides excellent high- and low-temperature protection (-25°F to 400°F) over conventional greases

DuraBlend Grease is a synthetic blend extreme-pressure, heavy-duty automotive grease specially formulated to protect disc brake wheel bearings, suspensions, universal joints and constant velocity (CV) joints.

 

Do not use petroleum lubricants on any brake parts, when your rubber ended caliper pins seize up you will regret ever doing that. Silicone grease does not swell rubber very much (if at all) allowing the parts to move freely. Find a commercially available brake lubricant.
