What's the heat spec on Mobil 1 grease?  I ask because I just did brakes
for the first time on my wife's 4kq campmobile and found the pins and
carriers caked up with some dried white grease.  Audi supplies a pin grease
(G000650) that comes in a plastic tube like a big supply of
toothpaste.  The opening into the tube is just the right size to let you
slide the pin in and when you pull it out, it has a consistent thin coating
of the grease.  Probably a lifetime supply of the grease for the average DIY'er.
