kudos:2 | Brake rotors, oil coating In the past, every brake rotor I've bought has been coated in (rust-preventative) oil of some sort. So before installing them, one always had to spray them "clean" and dry off. No big deal, of course...
Today, I picked up rotors (and pads) and these had no coating. They were actually in vacuum-sealed bags inside the standard cardboard boxes. Is this normal now ? Or does it just depend on who makes the rotors ? |

Some have a chemically treated bag, others a chemically treated slip of paper to prevent rust.

For what it worth, the rotors I bought last year were oil coated. |
