Default Dielectric Grease: Anyone use it?

Independent mechanic Scott Kilmer f-ing loves the stuff.


While it is actually an insulator, it has low enough viscosity to be pushed out of the way to make and establish good electrical contact while sealing out moisture and as a corrosion inhibitor, would have numerous applications in rust or corrosion prone areas. As a grease, it should hold up longer than an oil based material.

I hate that dude's youtube channel. He has the most irritating voice and personality.

That being said, dielectric grease is great, and I have that "Honda stuff", which is called Shin-Etsu. If you have window casements in the house that need lubricating, it also does a good job as well.
