Brake Pad Grease

[2004HondaCivic]

Forgive me if there is a topic on this as I searched and didnt find anything I was looking for.

Anyway, my quetsion is it ok to use a Lithium molybdenum grease instead of a "regular" molybdenum (Molykote 77) on the back of brake pads? I have read a few people who used it, but I rather ask the experts if this is good practice.

Specifically "Coastal Premium Moly EP Grease"

Its hard to find a real molybdenum based grease, that is why I ask.

I dont want to glue the pads, and would like to use a molybdenum grease instead.

Thanks everyone
Tom

I think you will find the lithium grease will wash away faster

Have you tried the Honda brand moly paste? It's got so much solids in it that feels more like an anti-seize than a grease; and a packet of the stuff is huge - enough to grease a great many axle sets worth of brake pads.

I have, only reason i have tried it is because a small pack comes with every brake pad set.

Where can I get a big tub of it?

The dealer said it cant be ordered, and online places only sell small tubes?

Thanks for the replies guys, Im glad to be part of the community.

One small tube can last you months:

M77 is definitely best noise-dampening grease ive seen for metal-to-metal contact.
