Yay or Nay, I like to use it on everything, but your input and experience is appreciated.

I use it on EVERYTHING electrical when I have to pull apart, repair, or maintain. I think it's important, and it prevents corrosion, which will eventually weaken parts, cause unnecessary loss of voltage, create unnecessary heat. It's like hot sauce, I put that &($ on everything!

That's my philosophy also, so is there anything we should not use it on?

And just for the record Di-Electric grease is not a true grease, it has no lubricating properties, it's sort of an anti-lubricant from what I've read on the internets. So don't get any extra in your fuel or oiling systems.
