Red rubber grease is used for repair, assembly and conservation of hydraulic brake components, apply thinly and evenly to cylinder sleeves, pistons and seals.

Can I use multipurpose grease on my guide pins?
No, we suggest using only silicone guide pin grease as other greases will cause rubber parts to swell and disintegrate over time.
-
What sort of brake fluid is suitable for my car?
Most vehicles use DOT3, DOT4 or 5.1 brake fluid for the brakes, however we suggest checking your vehicle handbook before using any fluids, the wrong fluid will cause damaged to rubber seals and may even cause brake failure. Some Citroen models use LHM (Mineral oil) this is usually green in colour and can not be used in place of standard brake fluid on other vehicles.
