Stuff lasts until the pad material is completely gone
Is this what you use on your own vehicles?
Yes all four, two GM's, two Mopars.
3 of the 4 are over 140K and one is at 40K. Never had a stuck caliper pin or bulging slide pin boot.
That's quite interesting especially for the price($2.00). I like saving money too! I'm paying $13/Green & $14/Black for the Permatex Lube. I don't think that I'm going to run right out and buy some plumbers faucet stem lube as I already have both Green/Black lube already and both are already open jars/bottles. But, I will certainly consider it(seeking more info first) when I use up my current lubes.
Gomes512, you mention that the faucet lube takes the heat well but, how about sub zero temps after a vehilce has been sitting all night and just starting out in the morning before the brakes have a chance to warm up and get hot? Any stickyness or binding in the brakes while still cold?
