Its great stuff. Ill never do a tune-up without it ...

NEVER FORGET TO USE THIS STUFF. Plain and simple. If you have wires and boots you wont kick yourself as hard but if you have coil on plug, or spark plug wires with long boots, you will want this!! Not only does it protect against water and dirt but it also lubricates the boot so you can actually remove it when the time comes!!! A couple broken/stuck coil boots taught me that real quick. And with the price for this size of grease, its a no brainer. Put it on battery terminals, put it around connectors. Its great stuff. Ill never do a tune-up without it again.

3 oz tube - Enough to last a lifetime

This stuff is a must for all electrical connections that are outside or consistently exposed to moisture. Will save you a ton of headaches down the road. Unless you are a mechanic or an electrician and use this stuff on a daily basis, the 3 oz tube is probably enough to last the average person their entire life. It only takes a tiny dab for each connection. If you only need enough for a few small projects, the .5 oz or 1 oz tubes would be plenty (although the 3 oz seems to be cheapest on Amazon.)

There seems to be alot of confusion as to what the use of this dielectric grease is for. It is NOT a electrical conductor. It used to shield metal parts from corrosion - however, if you have strong metal to metal contact, use can still use it on the connectors. If you have a weak or not very strong metal to metal contact - then this grease will inhibit electric current.

Where to use it? is the problem.

The world has not come together on all the exact application of the Dielectric greasy. Some people use it on almost everything and some get behind the "it doesn't conduct electricity". Of course it doesn't conduct electricity, it just help protect the components from corrosion -water-humidity-salt-dirt... But still is a debate where to use it. I have seen people on the internet using it on almost everything. They show tests where you can see that it takes a extremely small amount of conductivity from the connection but is almost nothing if the connection is conducting a decent amount of energy. I'm still not sure if I should get all the connections on my dirt bike and just make sure they are protected or if I gonna create a bigger problem. I guess I'll start by doing a few and if nothing bad happens ...i'll just continue. :) These may not help that many people but I put out there what I have found. BTW the tube is bigger than I thought what it's nice! :)

Perfect For Trailering

I use this mostly to keep corrosion and moisture out of trailer wiring plugs on my trailer and truck. It does a great job of that and helps to keep my trailer lights working even during the harsh PacNW winters. I usually dab it on the connectors and plug the trailer harness into the truck just to ensure it gets evenly distributed. Works well on other connections, too, like automotive light bulb sockets and spark plug boots. It works best if you get the connection as clean as possible before applying. Keep a tube in your home or shop and use it!

Works great

I use this stuff on all my trucks electrical connections. If nothing else it makes disconnecting wiring harnesses and removing those pesky 921 and 168 bulbs pain free as it blocks corrosion on the contacts and prevents sticking in the socked..

When used correctly, this product will prevent water and other debris from reaching the terminal end of your spark plug. The product should be applied around the insulator portion of the plug and not reach deep inside the boot where the terminal end is. A dielectric is an electrical insulator, it does not promote an electrical connection but actually serves to prevent one. The purpose of the grease is to not allow water and other materials from seeping up toward the terminal end. I apply the grease around the insulator of the plug, then hand tighten the plug into the head. Tighten with a wrench as per your torque requirements (or just a little past snugged up) and press the boot onto the plug. The grease should form a barrier around the plug insulator, preventing stuff from working its was up the plug and from ultimately fouling the terminal end.

Same dielectric grease in a convienient small tube that works great when working in small spaces

Yes, its a super small tube, I have a giant one I use most of the time. However I had a need to change the spark plugs on an engine in a confined space in a boat and rather than make a mess or have to deal with large tubes it was much easier to have this small tube that easily fit in my pocket. This drastically decreased the likelihood of setting it down somewhere I would kneel/stand/sit/lay on it, or putting it somewhere it would leave a mess I would have to clean up, or laying it somewhere I would end up knocking it into the bilge so I will have to contort myself to retrieve it. One plus over the regular large tube I use is that it is easy to direct exactly where I want it n the spark plug boot rather than just squeezing it in the end and hoping it goes where I want it to. Otherwise its the same Permatex Dielectric grease that I have used for years on contracts, in bulb sockets and on spark plug boots which works perfectly. If you only rarely have a need for doing this type of mechanical work I could see this being the only tube you have, and it would be easier to story in a small toolbox, otherwise it might make more sense to just buy a larger one. The 3 ounce tube Permatex 22058 Dielectric Tune-Up Grease, 3 oz. Tube is nearly 10 times the amount for about twice the cost of this one.

Good for easy lightbulb replacement

Love having this so easier to have lightbulbs replaced w/o sticking! Especially in humid areas!! Had a few light fixtures broken due to stuck bulbs, not to mention leery to take out broken bulbs!

Must have for auto light bulbs

A must have when replacing automotive light bulbs. Before putting in the new bulb make sure the socket is clean and dry. Then apply this all over the connector and plug in your bulb. Will prevent water from corroding your connections, making the bulbs last longer
