TBerk,


Righto.  I use an antioxidant grease on any automotive electrical termination
which I have reason to disconnect.  I think the problem with failing
electrical terminations in
Vanagons is not caused by the type of connector, but rather by deteriorated
and missing connector boots.  Just take a look in the engine bay of any 10-20
year old Vanagon.  One would be hard pressed to find any connector boots in
truly good condition.
