There is also something called antioxidant grease.  Perhaps some are calling
it dielectric grease by mistake.  Among other things, antioxidant grease is
used on AL-CU terminations as a convenience to allow electrical manufacturers
and utility companies to supply dreck to the residential market, but that's
another story.  The stuff I have is called No-Ox and I think it is made by
Hubbell.  In a van, I smear it on all the electrical connection I can, especially the
grounds.
