Product Information
Full details
Carlube Copper Grease (XCG500) is an essential high-performance anti-seize compound designed for mechanics, automotive DIY enthusiasts, and engineers who need to ensure metal components can be easily disassembled after long-term exposure to harsh conditions. Its primary benefit is the prevention of galling and seizure on threaded fasteners and heat-exposed parts, though users must exercise caution to ensure the grease never contacts friction surfaces like brake pad faces.

FAQs
Can I use Carlube Copper Grease on my wheel studs?
Yes, it is highly recommended for wheel studs to prevent seizing, which makes wheel removal much easier during tire changes.
Is it safe for use on battery terminals?
Yes, it provides excellent corrosion resistance for battery terminals and helps maintain a good electrical connection.
Will this help stop my brakes from squealing?
Yes, applying a small amount to the back of the disc pads (the side touching the caliper) can significantly reduce noise.
Can I apply this to the friction surface of the brake pads?
No. You must never apply copper grease to the friction material, as it will compromise braking performance and pose a safety risk.
Does this product contain lead?
No, Carlube Copper Grease is a lead-free formulation.
Can this be used on exhaust bolts?
Absolutely. It is specifically designed to handle the extreme heat of exhaust systems and prevents nuts from seizing to studs over time.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty spreading the grease evenly
Use a small stiff-bristled brush to work the grease into the grooves of threads for better coverage.
Grease is too thick to apply in cold weather
Keep the tub in a warm environment before use to improve the consistency and flow of the compound.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Prevents seized fasteners and galling
- Simplifies future maintenance and dismantling
- Highly resistant to extreme temperatures
- Versatile use from spark plugs to exhaust clamps
- Excellent corrosion protection
Cons
- Must be kept away from brake friction materials
- Can be messy to handle during application
- Not intended for high-speed rotational lubrication
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure that all metal surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt or old grease. Use a brush or lint-free cloth to apply a thin, even layer to the threads or mating surfaces.
Compatibility:
- Ideal for: Battery terminals, spark plug threads, exhaust clamps, wheel studs, and disc brake backings.
- Warning: Do not apply to brake friction materials or surfaces where high-speed lubrication is required, as this product is an anti-seize compound, not a standard bearing lubricant.
Care: Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent contamination. Ensure the product does not come into contact with sensitive plastic or rubber components, as it is designed for metal-to-metal interfaces.
