DieElectric Grease

Any harm in using this on the plug connections throughout the engine?

Just my opinion…But I have been using it for years, just a small amount on the plug to insure a watertight seal.

All weather pack plugs

Connections

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I should have said "all the connections", like the connectors going to your coil packs, head lights, MAF, etc.

Keeps moisture out and prevents oxidation. I say go for it.

I use as standard procedure on all plug in connectors.

If you routinely use it on your plug wires (coils and plugs) you'll find they'll be much easier to remove w/o damaging the wire.

Connections

How about using it on multi-prong connectors, like the connectors going to your coil packs, head lights, MAF, etc

Many manufacturers started putting DG on the connectiuons to the front and rear lamps ie. turnsignals, brake lights etc.. It is fine except when you want to inspect, clean the contacts like when replacing a bulb. I use it on plug wires at the plug end but don't grease up my whole ignition and lighting system. GM DOES recommend it for the rubber weatherstripping around the windows, doors trunk lid etc. I apply it SPARINGLY and wipe most of it off so I dont feel like I've just been swimming in vasoline every time I get into and out of the car

I have been doing this for the last 30+ years on ALL auto electrical connections. I started out using hi-temp grease, but switched to the dielectric grease about 25 years ago.

I keep my cars for many years and do my own service work – cars (Vettes especially) are my hobby and passion.
