Is the Permatex #81150 Dielectric grease the right grease for the module?

 

No, you want heatsink compound. The last time I bought it was at Home Depot.

OK thanks. I told the Napa guy, I don't think that is the right stuff, and he said it was, and it does not actually say anything on it about using for modules. Now I have to change it. I did not drive the car much, just made sure it started. I'm surprised the new one did not come with it, is a Delco.

 

I don't think I ever bought one without the tiny tube of grease. Of course it has been a long time and everybody cuts corners to save a few cents.

 

This is what you want.

You can get it from Amazon.

It's the same stuff used under computer chips.

 

Arctic Silver 5, baby. Back when the men were men and the women weren't.
