Subject:Re: Syncro front rotor life expectance

As this thread has morphed a bit, let me ask a syncro rotor question:

Every year I take my Canadian van to have the Krown.com rust prevention treatment.  This treatment
consists of spraying the underside of the van with an oily substance.  As one pays for the
treatment, they advise caution as the oily spray gets on the brakes and will impede stopping for
the first 4 or 5 stops.  I have been doing this for 7 years and the brakes work fine after 4 or 5
stops.

I am wondering; when I put my van to be for the winter, I just might take off the front wheels and
spray (or wipe) the rotors with the Krown oil.  Maybe even the rear brake drums too.

Any reasons not to????   Malcolm (91 syncro)
