--> Aerobatic-List message posted by: "Jon Croke" <jon@joncroke.com>
Hello,
I checked the archives and couldn't find any info on the following:
The Rotax 912 service manual talks about making good electrical connections on
its electronic module and to avoid leakage currents by using LITHIUM grease on
all connetions.
I can find DIELECTRIC grease at the automotive store sold for about the same purpose..but
not LITHIUM grease.
Are these two greases the same thing or related? Looking at the internet I see
that lithium grease has a lot of flavors and uses beyond electrical connections...
Are both of these greases good conductors, esp at very low voltages??
Thanks for any info on this confusion.

Jon,
I would recommend the dielectric over the lithium. Stay with a good brand
like Permatex, or get some from your local Ford or GM dealer. The
microprocessors in modern automobiles often sense millivolts and milliamps,
so whatever you get at the car dealership will be high quality stuff, and
heat resistant as well.
Good luck,
