CRC Brake Caliper Grease 12 oz — Synthetic, Plastic- and Rubber-Safe, Moisture-Resistant

CRC 05353 Brake Caliper Grease is a synthetic, plastic- and rubber-safe lubricant formulated to protect and lubricate disc and drum brake sliding surfaces and metal-to-metal contact points.

Designed for professional mechanics and DIY vehicle owners, this 12-ounce tub of CRC brake caliper grease delivers long-lasting lubrication while resisting moisture and washout. It prevents caliper binding and reduces vibration and corrosion at critical brake hardware contact points without harming boots, seals, or plastic components. The formula suits a wide range of automotive brake applications where dependable, high-performance grease is required.

How does this grease protect brake calipers during regular use?

CRC's synthetic formula creates a durable film that stays in place under load and temperature cycles. By lubricating sliding pins, guide bolts, and contact faces, it reduces friction that leads to binding and uneven pad wear. It also helps water bead and run off rather than displace the lubricant, preserving performance in wet conditions.

• Forms stable lubricant film that withstands heat and pressure
• Prevents metal-to-metal seizure and sticking
• Maintains lubrication after exposure to moisture

Will this grease harm rubber seals, boots, or plastic parts?

No — the CRC 05353 formulation is specifically plastic- and rubber-safe, so it won’t swell, crack, or degrade common brake system polymers. That makes it appropriate for use on caliper slide boots, bushings, and backing plate contact points where incompatible lubricants could cause premature parts failure.

• Safe for common elastomers used in brake assemblies
• Suitable where manufacturer guidance calls for non-reactive lubricants
• Avoids damage that could cause leaks or seal failure

Which brake components and applications are best suited for this grease?

This grease is intended for metal-to-metal contact points and sliding surfaces in both disc and drum brake systems. Use it on caliper pins, guide bolts, pad contact areas, parking brake linkages, and other moving components that require consistent lubrication to operate smoothly and quietly.

• Caliper slide pins and guide bolts
• Pad contact points and anti-rattle surfaces
• Parking brake linkages and drum hardware

How does CRC 05353 hold up to environmental exposure and maintenance cycles?

The grease resists washout from water and road spray, meaning routine exposures won’t quickly remove the protective layer. That moisture resistance, combined with a synthetic base, helps extend service intervals and maintain braking performance between inspections and re-greasing cycles.

• Resists washout from water and road contaminants
• Reduces frequency of re-application compared to non-synthetic greases
• Helps limit corrosion on exposed metal surfaces

Who is this for: CRC 05353 Brake Caliper Grease is aimed at automotive technicians, fleet maintenance teams, and committed DIYers who need a reliable, rubber- and plastic-safe lubricant for brake system maintenance. It’s appropriate for passenger cars, light trucks, and many commercial applications where standard brake hardware lubrication is required. Always follow vehicle manufacturer recommendations for lubricant selection and application practices.
