Only the GR86 shows the temp in digits. The BRZ shows a graph.

Here is a video discussing the issue. You can also check online on various vehicle forums where there will be reports of non silicone based greases causing swelling in brake calipers that use rubber bushings. There's a reason why the Japanese car manufacturers have a JIS rubber compatibility...

The same reason people interchange tolerance and clearance. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of what the W in an oil grade stands for and how they are indeed grades (like ABCD) and not specific weight values (like 1 pound).

IMO, Pro-Shot manufactures the best cleaning accessories. https://www.proshotproducts.com/

I'm aware. Someone necro'd the thread.

Just needed to know if there was a list of A3 or A5 oils. Debate over ACEA sequences can happen in another thread.

Silaramic has worked for me. It's silicone based and I've serviced the same brake jobs after 30-40k miles and the slide pins were still moving without an issue.

I haven't used that one personally, but it seems similar to the CRC Silaramic that I have used.

I can't speak for what the manufacturer recommends because I do not work for the manufacturers nor can I speak to their engineers about why some documentation forbids lubrication on their pins when they come from the factory with lubrication. I can only speak from personal experience and...

Yes, they would. Permatex Ceramic Extreme is also advertised as being appropriate for caliper pins when there are many documented cases of it causing seized pins. There's a difference between advertisement and real-world application.

That's fine. Glad it works for you. I just don't trust anything outside of silicone for slide pins. Tons of people use purple ceramic Permatex "without issue", but I've seen more seized pins using purple Permatex than any other product out there. I also don't trust EBC products in general, but...

I've always been to taught that silicone rubber grease like SIL-Glyde is the only proper lubricant for slide pins.

Right. That's what I'm saying. I used to check continuity all the time because that's what I was taught. Got burned on too many fuses that would show continuity, but wouldn't carry a load. I've changed my process since.

I see it sometimes on automotive fuses. The fuse will even pass continuity tests. It just won't carry a load without substantial voltage drop.

I said you feel like that fact that you're a pilot makes you more credible, not knowledgeable. It is quite clear you are not knowledgeable about oil. Being OCD has no bearing on how oil functions. Neither does being a mechanic.

Well, "throwing bait from the sidelines" is about all this thread is good for. The thick vs thin debate goes on every day and this thread is nothing new. Seems like you are a forum user that was previously banned and came back in order to spark a debate about thick or thin. You've shown a very...

I can't take anyone who tries to cite oil testing from ProjectFarm seriously.

From what I've heard, SiO2 infused sprays are fine. They don't harden like traditional coatings do.

Yeah.. there's no way there's a 25 degree delta from a single grade increase. That would bring the usual 0W-20 oil that used to be in my BRZ that ran at 230 F down to 180 F on the 0W-40 that's in there now, which isn't the case.

This makes sense to me. I need to separate oil temperature from overall engine temperature. So a well cared for engine can die before the rest of the vehicle, which is contradictory to what was said earlier. That's what I was getting at. Again, for the third time, this is all just...
