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.

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.
