CRC Brake Caliper Grease 12 oz — synthetic, moisture-resistant, rubber-safe lubricant

CRC 05353 Brake Caliper Grease is a 12-ounce synthetic grease formulated to lubricate brake calipers, sliding pins and metal-to-metal contact points while resisting moisture and protecting rubbers and plastics.

This specially formulated brake caliper grease from CRC delivers long-lasting lubrication where brakes need it most. Designed for use in both disc and drum systems, the grease offers moisture resistance and a chemistry that’s safe on most plastics and rubber components. It helps maintain smooth caliper movement, reduces noise from vibrating parts, and shields exposed metal surfaces from corrosion in demanding conditions.

How does this grease improve caliper movement and reduce noise?

The synthetic base and additives provide a stable lubricating film that reduces friction at sliding surfaces, which helps prevent caliper binding and erratic movement. Less friction and improved slide action also lower the chance of squeal and vibration noises commonly associated with dry or corroded contact points.

• Forms a durable lubricating layer on pins, slides and contact points
• Prevents binding caused by dirt or corrosion buildup
• Reduces vibration-related squeal by dampening metal-to-metal contact

Is this grease safe to use with rubber boots and plastic parts?

Yes — CRC 05353 is formulated to be safe on most rubber and plastic brake components, so it won’t swell or degrade common seals and dust boots when applied as directed. Always confirm compatibility with the specific OEM materials if you’re working on an older or specialty vehicle.

• Plastic- and rubber-safe formulation for typical brake hardware
• Won’t cause immediate softening or hardening of seals under normal use
• Suitable for OEM slide pins, caliper abutments and hardware clips

Will the grease hold up in wet or corrosive conditions?

The product resists moisture and is designed to stay in place instead of washing away, which extends protection and lubrication in wet driving conditions. Its corrosion-inhibiting properties help protect exposed metal surfaces from rust formation, increasing the service life of brake components.

• Moisture-resistant formulation that reduces washout
• Provides corrosion protection for exposed metal parts
• Maintains lubricity in varying temperatures during normal driving

Who this is for: CRC 05353 Brake Caliper Grease is aimed at professional mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and fleet technicians who need a reliable, synthetic brake lubricant for maintenance and repair. It’s a practical choice for anyone working on passenger cars, light trucks or commercial vehicles who wants a moisture-resistant, rubber- and plastic-safe grease in an easy-to-apply 12 oz tub.
