Choosing the right brake lubricant – When choosing a brake lubricant, it is important to make sure: 1.)The product is designed for brake systems. 2.) The lubricant can handle the heat. At a bare minimum, the lubricant should be able to handle 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 3.) The lubricant does not contain a petroleum base. Petroleum will react with rubber components causing swelling and binding. Overall, a good synthetic or silicone-based lubricant works well. Anti-seize is not recommended as a brake lubricant.
