ISSUE: The use of petroleum-based grease as a lubricant in servicing disc brakes is no longer acceptable because it may be incompatible with the rubber material used in the disc brake system. If petroleum-based grease is used to lubricate any part of the disc brake system, it could cause rubber parts to swell if lubricant contacts the rubber material.

ACTION: Refer to the following Servicing Procedures for details.

DISC BRAKE SERVICING
CAUTION: DO NOT USE PETROLEUM-BASED SERVICE GREASE (SUCH AS FORD DISC BRAKE CALIPER SLIDE GREASE D7AZ-19590-A) TO LUBRICATE DISC BRAKE CALIPER SLIDE PINS OR RUBBER DUST BOOTS. PETROLEUM-BASED GREASE MAY CAUSE EPDM RUBBER TO SWELL.

When servicing any disc brakes, lubricate necessary components by applying Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A (Motorcraft WA-10)) or an equivalent silicone compound meeting Ford Specification ESE-M1C171-A. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for specific service details.

DRUM BRAKE SERVICING
When servicing drum brakes, apply Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A (Motorcraft WA-10)) or an equivalent silicone compound meeting Ford Specification ESE-M1C171-A to the contact points between the brake shoes and the drum backing plates for lubrication.

NOTE: DISC BRAKE CALIPER SLIDE GREASE D7AZ-19590-A SHOULD NO LONGER BE USED FOR DISC BRAKE CALIPER SLIDE LUBRICATION.

OTHER SERVICE APPLICATIONS
Existing inventory of D7AZ-19590-A may be used for all other Service Manual procedures. Once material is exhausted, all vehicle procedures specifying Disc Brake Caliper Slide Grease (D7AZ-19590-A) should use Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A).
