Default Moly Lithium + caliper pins

I have a 1994 Honda Accord EX.

Is it safe to use Moly Lithium for the front brake caliper pins?? (I didn't have any caliper specific lube at the time) Should I remove the pins clean the caliper and start over with new pins and boots??

I've scoured the net and I can't find anything that definitively says you can't/shouldn't.

The Chilton's manual I used doesn't specify anything.

the important thing is to use a high-temp grease. anything else will get cooked when the brakes heat up. this will typically cause the caliper to drag, bind and even freeze up.

I like Sil-Glyde, there are other caliper pin specific greases available at your local auto parts store. some work better than others but all are safe to use.
