For outdoor electrical equipment, such as outdoor condensing
units. Is there any corrosion protection to squirt into the
push on terminals? To keep the terminals clean, and keep
corrosion out?

I've heard of aluminum antioxidant "Noalox", or "Ox-Gard"
being used. Other options include Caig De-Oxit, or marine
grease.

A generation ago, we used to use axle grease on car battery
terminals. What works on push-on terminals?

The same.
Just so long as it displaces air and moisture,
and does not degrade.
Silicon grease comes to mind.

Dielectric grease would be the proper stuff, but I've used sil-glyde
(comes in a hugeass tube for the same price) without noticeable ill
effect. Not sure what the difference is, if any, besides cost.

You know, that sounds right. I've got some marine
axle grease, got a couple of 14 ounce "pound cans"
recently. Wonder if that's close enough?

Ebay item number

1/4 ounce tube for five bucks. A bit expensive, but is this
the stuff?

I've been using simple petroluem jelly on car battery terminals for years.
Does the job and is dirt cheap.

Dont know/use ebay, but silicon grease does not melt
when heated, and it hates water, just what the doctor orders.

Does silicon grease char, instead of melt?

I'm not sure what temperatures are experienced, with my
application. The pet jelly may run off.

IVe been using DeOxit by Caig and it works great. Also found that
soldering the termials to the rivet on caps helps a heck of a lot. No
particular reason to reccomend De Oxit over axle grease except they
bought a case of it here at work so I threw a couple of bottles in my
toolbox .....Ive tried it and it works.
