10 Best Caliper Lubricants

The key feature of the product is its versatility. This is a semi-synthetic lubricant that can be applied not only to calipers and guides, but also to the piston cylinder, as well as fingers. The anti-friction properties allow the lubricant to distribute wear evenly over the surface of the brake pads, reducing scuffing and reducing the likelihood of corrosion.However, the product did not find much fame among buyers, as well as among experts conducting their own independent tests. In addition, it is noted that the quality of the product is often lame, which indicates certain problems in production.

ABRO is a well-known manufacturer, often delighting car owners with quality products at an attractive price. In this case, he outdid himself by releasing a product with the best characteristics and composition, while costing much less than its counterparts. This is a synthetic lubricant that reliably protects your brakes from wear. It contains teflon and molybdenum. All characteristics are at the highest level, but we know about them only from the words of the manufacturer. Reliable test results can not be found, hence such a place in the ranking. With the description of the goods, the brand is clearly disingenuous, but it is not known to what extent.

The disadvantage of many lubricants is their poor adhesion to surfaces. Before applying the brake system must be thoroughly cleaned and degreased, which causes certain difficulties during operation. You don't have to worry about adhesion with this product. It is the best here, that is, you can apply lubricant to contaminated modules, but within reasonable limits. After spreading the paste over the entire surface, it creates a dense film that protects parts from corrosion and repels water. Also, the lubricant interacts well with brake fluid and reagents. And the disadvantages include a relatively high price tag. However, the product is American, and this explains a lot.

VMPauto not only produces lubricants, but also tests them in its own laboratory, constantly developing and introducing new products that are of higher quality than the previous ones. In this case, the manufacturer managed to raise the upper temperature threshold to a thousand degrees.This is not the best result, but very high. Lubricant is universal. It is applied to the caliper, as well as the guide and piston cylinder. According to research, it helps to even out pad wear and reduces stress on the module pins. High ductility can also be called an advantage. Applying lubricant is very convenient.

Judging by the number of references in specialized publications, the Russian brand RUSEFF can be safely called the most popular. Moreover, many experts say that this caliper lubricant is the best of its kind, at least for the money. This is a synthetic paste that contains anti-friction and anti-creak components. After being applied to the rail, the unpleasant rattle disappears from the module, and the service life of the parts is also extended. True, the drop threshold was set at around 205 degrees. That is, it is not worth applying lubricant to the piston cylinder or moving fingers. But the lower mark is already 50 degrees with a minus sign, which is a very good result.

As a rule, manufacturers impose some restrictions on their products. For example, lubricants are distributed by type of equipment, and the product that can be used in a passenger car cannot be used on trucks. In this case, there are no such restrictions. The brand has released a copper spray with a special set of stable additives that can cope with the highest loads. The temperature spread is impressive, but, unfortunately, we do not know anything about the composition of the product. The brand itself does not publish this information, which is strange and does not allow the lubricant to be given a higher place in the ranking.

City roads are constantly treated with various chemicals that adversely affect car parts when they come into contact. Brakes are the first to be hit and need special protection. For example, in the form of this spray, the main feature of which is maximum resistance to any chemical reagents. The spray can be applied not only to the guides, but also to the fingers, that is, to all moving parts. The dense film created by the lubricant on the surface reliably protects the module, and also extends its service life by distributing wear across the pads more evenly.

It is known that the brakes of a car can heat up to 600 degrees, and even more in case of emergency operation. Caliper grease must withstand such loads, and the higher its temperature spread, the better. Now we have the most stable lubricant, operating from -60 to +1500 degrees, and this is the most impressive result, which, moreover, is confirmed by independent experts. Of course, it is unlikely to achieve such values ​​in reality, but it never hurts to have a margin of safety. In addition, the product has high anti-corrosion properties and is able to repel moisture without reacting to brake fluid and chemicals.

Brakes are not the only module in a car that is affected by friction. In theory, each part needs its own lubricant. Or you can use the universal product that is now in front of us. This is a product from the most famous automotive brand, the quality of which can be trusted one hundred percent.Silicone grease with a set of additives that interact with both metal parts and rubber or plastic. It can be applied to guides, pins and piston cylinders. It is also recommended to process all plastic modules that are in contact with the body and are subject to friction.

Brakes are constantly exposed to negative effects. They will get water, brake fluid and reagents that are sprinkled on the road. The best lubricant must withstand all these adversities, and now we have it in front of us. This is a copper-based spray with a unique set of additives. 30% of the liquid is made up of aphotic hydrocarbons, which increase the protective functions. The spray creates a very dense film that is practically not washed off. Also note the high adhesion of the product. Lubricant falls on any surface, which greatly simplifies the application process. At a height and temperature levels, where the upper threshold exceeded a thousand degrees, and the lower one became at around -40.
