Thanks doyoulikeithere, I found that also, it's just pretty pricey for a small amount.
Looking for a reasonable amount to keep in stock.

Thanks again !!!!!!!!!!!

whatcha using it for?

[metalcutter]

slider bolts on front calipers, spark plug boots, weatherstripping, etc.

I bought a tube of brake grease for the calipers. Around $10/tube
For spark plug boots, sensor plugs etc. I use dielectric/anticorrosion grease. $5.50/tube

The tubes and contents look the same and I sometimes mix them up
Then I have aerosol silicone lube for plastics, rubber etc..

You could probably get away with using one product.

timelessbeing, thanks for the Princess auto tip.
Was the caliper grease silicone based, do you remember the brand?

btw I was in at lordco and saw a 4 oz tube of dielectric grease for $42 ...... I almost s - - t my pants.

Ripco has that same effect on me almost every time.

I can't remember where I got it but I wouldn't pay more than $15.
