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.
