Default Which Brake Pin Grease

Whats the best choice for brake caliper glide pin lube?

OEM looks like a moly based grease. I have some thats good to 550°F but see other moly lubes are good to higher temps.

I'm using PFC11's which I think can operate up to close to 2000°F.

Thanks

Rob

Nickel anti-seize compound works for me...
Correction: I was thinking C6 Z pad retaining pins. I would definitely not use nickel anti seize on sliding caliper pins!

I have to give credit to froggy on this one. I was using some other (inferior) grease and then one day I was watching one of his videos and he was talking about the purple stuff. Thanks Froggy.

We need to make this a sticky at the top. The first time in history everyone agreed on the exact same thing!
