No. Heat cracks on pads, brake fade, and discoloring on the rotors is a "HOT" problem, not an uneven cooling issue, of course.

Okay, smart man that stated that 20wt is thicker than 30wt oil, **rust** is not what caused the OP excessive runout, heat must have warped the rotors...that's why there are machine minimum and discard specs, because less material = more heat, NOT more rust stains...big clue: if "HOT" was a good thing there wouldn't be vented rotors and drums.

That's what this thread has been about...assumptions/conclusions that rust overtook the rotor on the dealer's lot within the first 10 miles of life, and that's why the steering wheel shakes while applying the brakes.
Besides, not everybody has the same concept of how hot "HOT" should be, so why risk damage to the rotors and pads, and possible brake fade when the dealer took care of it for free by fixing the runout problem... |
