Default Caliper Pin Grease

Will any automotive synthetic grease do for greasing up the pins? I have Synthetic grease in my grease gun. I see some places want like $8 for a small tube of grease.

Yes pretty much anything will work. Something that can handle the heat is ideal. Low temp stuff will gum up and just sort of melt away. Higher temp stuff if you track the car.

I was thinking Green Grease, I use it for most everything. I use it on most everything on the Z28 but the Corvette............ It's a high heat syn. grease.

I use a Lucas green geese that is high temp for wheel bearings. Woukd work perfect for caliper sliding pins. Sounds like the right stuff.

I have some grease labeled specifically for caliper pins and it looks and smells exactly like Lucas green. I think its probably the same stuff in both tubes.
