brake pads, oil and filter change

[vinnyb]

Copper Grease is OK for the back of the brake pads to prevent them from squealing but don't put it on the pistons, it's abrasive and will damage the seals and wear the plating. Red rubber grease is the only thing you should use on your pistons. I just put a smear round my seals rather than on the piston itself. it stops them drying out, just move the piston in an out a little way, a couple of times and wipe off any excess. That'll be enough to prevent any crap building up on them.
