What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Permatex 20353 ultra disc brake caliper lube, 2 oz. Used to install new calipers on my 2005 highlander. Great value considering the the little plastic packages at the auto parts stores are over $2. Used it to lubricate the slide pins all of my vehicle... Read More
Cons
The product is deceptive. It is not for use on caliper pins, sleeves, or pistons. It will not work on brake side calipers with rubber in it or with rubber boot.
It is not compatible with the rubber boots and bushings. The product is supposed to be excellent on metal to metal surfaces only. The boot is filled with black tar like gunk.
Permatex has the worst customer support. Even the green version has similar reviews. Emailed permatex about this. Its true what other reviewers say.
Highlights
Quality
I have used this product before it works great for slider pins on the calipers keeps them working good
Product spreads easily on pins, pads, slides, works excellent.
The only reason to renew it on the brakes pads every 15-20kmiles is dusting.
Doing brakes this is the brake lube you need 20 year mechanic tried them all this is the only one i use

Great product for the price, and it works great.
Good price on here too if you are looking to save some money and have a quality product.
Had several brake jobs to do and bought this as the price and size were acceptable.
Shipping
I just received my order and haven't used it yet but with little research, this stuff should be okay for caliper pins.
Competitiveness
There are other brands cheaper, but i haven't heard of those.
This will last sooooo much longer than that junk at the chain auto stores.
