Silicone Grease - Why and where to use in a Car?

Silicone Grease?

Greases are used where a mechanism can only be lubricated infrequently and where a lubricating oil would not stay in position. Petroleum based greases such as Lithium-grease is the most commonly used in automotive field currently. But they easily damage Rubber and Plastic components and cannot withstand above at 120°C.

Silicone grease is a Synthetic waterproof grease which can easily withstand upto 400 °C.

Why Silicone grease?

- Pure White color

- Not soluble in water

- Excellent resistance to oxygen, ozone and UV light

- Chemically inert and not react with other chemicals

- Highly corrosion inhibitor

- High slippery

- don’t attract dirt and grit

- does not swell or soften the rubber

- Increase the life of Rubbers and Plastics

- Melting point off Silicone is 1400°c and silicone greases easily holds upto 400°c

- Does not harden or dry out even after 1000 Hours continuously at 200°C

- Non flammable

- Low toxicity

- High temperature-stability

- Very high surface resistivity even under moisture condensing conditions

- Has very good heat-transfer characteristics

- Anti-foaming

- Synthetic based and Not Hydro-Carbon or Petroleum based

Drawbacks:

Automotive paint shops must avoid the presence of all silicones, as they may cause "fish eyes," small, circular craters that appear in the finish.

Where we can apply Silicone Grease in a Car?

1. Door Lock Mechanism

2. To lubricate Door Glass Runners

3. Door Hinges

4. Inside Door beadings and Body seals to avoid corrosion

5. Propeller Shaft Slip Joint

6. Wheel bearings & Brake Components

7. Idler Arm

8. Steering spindle and Sleeve

9. Bonnet Locks & Balancers

10. Battery Terminals

11. Gaskets & O-Rings

12. Almost anywhere to prevent corrosion – even on Rubbers, Plastic, electrical components, horns, bulbs, springs, connectors, motors, Fans, Pulleys, Crossover, speaker terminals, bolts & nuts.

Greasing up with fancy dress

Silicone grease is great for a number of different reasons. I would highly suggest using it to keep all parts lubricated on the car, its actually quiet simple to do but a video tutorial would be really good.

I thought about doing car maintainence in a sponsored ladies fancy dress as part of a fun raising scheme for our local community.

Car Maintenance

With summer time fast nearing, travel is also. Ensure you do look after your vehicle from winter damage, before you begin your summer traveling. You want to fundamentally give your car a fast tune up. In short you need to check your radiator, belts, batteries, tires, wipers, breaks, and much more. Making sure things are in top notch condition and functional will save you in the long run from being trapped on the side of the road in route to the ocean. Maintaining your car now is less costly than fixing it later.
