CRC Brake Caliper Synthetic Grease — 8 oz, high-temp, water-resistant for caliper pins & rubber-safe

CRC 05359 Brake Caliper Synthetic Grease is an 8-ounce, dark-gray lubricant formulated to protect brake hardware and sliding surfaces from binding, corrosion and moisture while remaining safe on rubber and plastic.

Designed for disc and drum brake systems, this synthetic grease blends molybdenum, PTFE and graphite to perform across a wide temperature range. Its high dropping point and water resistance make it suitable where metal-to-metal contact and rubber grommets need dependable lubrication without washing away. The product comes in a compact bottle for convenient application in garages and service bays.

How does this grease prevent caliper binding and brake noise?

The combination of solid lubricants reduces friction and helps metal parts slide smoothly under heavy loads and heat. That lowers the chance of sticking calipers, uneven pad wear, and squeal caused by vibration.

• Molybdenum and graphite provide pressure-bearing film for sliding contacts.
• PTFE lowers friction to reduce stick-slip and noise.
• Stable formula resists breakdown at elevated temperatures up to 400°F (continuous) and beyond for short exposures.

Where on the brake system should I use CRC 05359?

Apply it to the areas where metal meets metal and to rubber-coated moving parts that require lubrication. It is intended for caliper slide pins, backing plates, pad contact points and self-adjusters, among other hardware.

• Caliper slide pins and pivot points
• Pad-to-caliper contact surfaces and backing plates
• Caliper O-rings, grommets, and other rubber components (plastic- and rubber-safe)
• Parking brake linkages, drum hardware and self-adjusters

Is this grease durable against water and high temperatures?

Yes — the synthetic base resists moisture and washout, while the formula’s high dropping point and flash resistance help it maintain film strength under heat. That makes it dependable for normal braking conditions and periodic exposure to harsh environments.

• Resists water and brake-cleaning fluids to reduce washout
• Dropping point around 600°F supports extended high-temperature endurance
• Flash point greater than 350°F for safer handling in heated areas

How do I apply the grease and how much do I need?

Use sparingly: a thin, even coating on slide pins, pad contact points and grommets is sufficient. The 8-ounce bottle delivers multiple servicing jobs for most passenger vehicles when applied correctly.

• Clean contact surfaces before applying to remove old grease and debris
• Apply a light layer; avoid over-application near brake friction material
• Reinstall components according to manufacturer torque specs after lubrication

Who is this for: Technicians, DIY mechanics and fleet maintenance teams who need a reliable, rubber-safe brake hardware lubricant. CRC 05359 is suited for routine brake servicing and preventive maintenance where durable, high-temperature performance and moisture resistance are required, without risking damage to seals or plastics.
