Brake Caliper Grease
Hey guys, What does the BMW dealer use for caliper grease? I have 43k on my car and I'm doing a full brake job. I have some high temp cermaic grease. Supposed to be the bees knees. Will it work? Can I mix it with the factory caliper grease or do I need to clean it out real well?

Yes, looks like good stuff.
Follow the brake DIY and clean off the old anti squeal paste from the slides, apply it to the back of the new pads and the slides. |

Bavarian AutoSport has a good video of Brake Pad / Rotor Replacement.
. I used their lube , brake quiet and copper antiseize -- all work well and no issues to date. Did not think twice about the caliper grease -- just removed caliper pin -- cleaned and coated with syn grease per the OTTO VIDEO. . Zimmerman Zinc coated rotors and Hawk HPS pads. |

I think I'm going to buy 4 new rotors just b/c mine are rusting in the hub area and look pretty worn out. The edge has a pretty good size lip which is a tell tale sign of what the orignal thickness was. Looks like I'm good to go minus the 4 rotors. I'm just going to use OEM BMW zinc coated rotors. I was at the dealer last week and saw some new(er) cars in the lot and the rotor hubs looked nice. Zinc coated.
