Someone told me of a special electrical connection greece, what do you all think of it, should I get it and put it on my ground from the battery to the body?

Dielectric Grease.

Dielectric Grease.

Dielectric grease is an insulator.

I prefer this stuff.



A special

sort of like the discussion of which oil to use

I used dielectric grease on my battery terminal once and it actually caused a bad connection. Car would start like crap until I cleaned it all off and reattached the battery terminal.

Do not use dielectric grease on battery terminals. GOOGLE it. Try lithium grease.

The auto electric shop near me uses regular Axle bearing grease on the battery terminals when they install new batteries.

I use dielectric on pretty much everything I do. Well, electrically, anyway.

But this is going to be an argument. It's like "what your favorite style of beer" discussions. For example:


Of course it is. That's the wole point (along with stopping oxidation). You *want* it to be electrically non-conductive, because the physical contact of the pins is what clears the grease and makes the electrical contact.

You don't want the grease conducting an electrical current to adjacent pin housing connections (for example).

And...go!

I use dielectric grease for high voltage stuff connections on plug wires to spark plugs and distributor cap towers coil wire connection to distributor cap and coil, and this stuff for everything else electrical.Click to view attachment

This post reminded me of that old joke;

"If Russia attacked Turkey from behind, would Greece help?"

That's so wrong.

I recommend grease for connections and Greece for vacation.

Quit making a$$hole jokes and bugger off...

Well put.

Usually I wish someone would get to the point....but not this time.

When I owned a 928, I once tried dielectric grease on my spark plug connections- the car would not start. Removed the grease and cleaned it all up- the car started. I will never use that sh*t again.

You didn't have a good solid physical electrical connection. Your spark plugs wires were arcing to the spark plug terminals.

That works, but it ain't the best way to do it.

I found the dielectric grease helped keep the rear taillight connections from corroding. A quick wire-brushing and a light app of the dielectric grease has kept those connection "clean "from corrosion for at least ten years.

You sick Bastard; LMAO.

That's what it is supposed to do. You must be using it correctly, Jimbo.

Good lord Lawrence you made my day again with one of your pithy post...

Now please go take your meds

Do you use it on the battery ground wire to body or everything? Someone said to use Lithium grease on posts
