Gardner Bender OX-800 8OZ Anti-Oxy Compound, 1 Count (Pack of 1), 8 Fl Oz

I replaced ignition control module in our Buick Lesaber. These in turn are what handshake and communicate with the sparkplug coils. I typically use dielectric grease until one Amazon reviewer drew my attention to the vast superiority of this product in resisting oxidation, the proverbial enemy of sound electrical connections and function. Don't be fooled by the product picture, this is no small tube. I have enough to last me the rest of my lifetime. I do recommend that prior to opening it and seeking to squeeze the product out that you kneed the tube for a bit. Otherwise your initial squeeze of the product is proceeded by a strange liquid that has separated from the product itself. Peace of mind in electrical connections mean taking extra time as well as quality parts and materials. A large tube of this product is not incredibly expensive -- particularly since it will almost certainly be more than you and even your heirs will use in one lifetime. It is good to go the extra mile and use the best quality part and products.

working great

I used these on all my wire connections in a boat. Combined with heat shrink wire connectors.This should prevent any corrosion to connections.In a boat exposed to a lot of water. Also recommended to use if you ever connect aluminum fittings to other steel connectors. Aluminum and steel should never be connected without some sort of barrier between them.This should give additional protection against corrosion.

When I received the tube the base of the tip had cracked slightly, and I didn’t notice, so when I squeezed for the first time it came out the tip and the base/side of the tip. Pretty annoying. Seems to be the design of the cap. It is large and wide so it’s great for storage but if there is a mild amount of sideways pressure on the cap it may break the tip. The actual paste works very well though! Enough to last me a long time

Ever had a light bulb that was hard to unscrew from the socket? With the high heat and base metals in a bulb and lamp socket, oxidation is common and can make it hard if not next to impossible to unscrew a burned out bulb. I wipe a small amount of this on the threads and it totally prevents any seizing, making replacement a smooth operation. It also works fantastically on torch lights. I have 6 of them in the shop and house, ranging from 100-300W. Every one of them eventually began to operate erratically due to corrosion in the bulb socket, sometimes you could hear arcing when you turned the lamp on. After a little cleanup I put a small dab of OX-Guard in the socket and a light coating on the bulbs. No more issues after 6 months of use! The suspended zinc particles helps maintain a good electrical connection; no more arcing sounds. A little of this product goes a LONG way, I got the 8oz tube and it will last me several lifetimes. The 1oz should due fine for the average homeowner.

We mainly use this stuff for our cars/trucks, many of the older cars/trucks had this compound to prevent corrosion in the light bulbs, however (gm especially), this compound would harden, and it is very difficult to get it out. Ox guard, was meant for alum house wiring, but give it a try in the automotive world. We put it on any connection, sockets, bulbs, connectors/etc. Keeps moisture and crud out. Another great use, if you solder two wires (or crimp), put this over the connection, and then put heat shrink tubing over that for a connection that wont fail. Used this on the feeder cable (alum) for my house, and after 20 years, have not had any issues with corrosion of the wires. Alum house wiring requires this stuff , and it's really not a bad idea to use it on copper either for a little extra bit of prevention.

I've been using this product for years, it's an excellent anti corrosion and anti seize compound.

Very useful - goes wherever I go. Big tube will last for many, many projects. Dry connections are always susceptible to oxidation unless they're cranked down REALLY hard. Obviously there are all kinds of connectors that attach rather lightly, or have connectors that slide against each other. That's where this comes in very handy. Of course, as another reviewer mentioned, liquid connectivity is a double-edged sword, so use it sparingly and with caution where there's danger of it causing shorts. The grease may also make parts more prone to picking up dirt and grit than a dry connector, which could make it less suitable for certain applications. Be advised: It can also be pretty messy and stain things.

Thick and greasy. Don't get it on your clothes or tools. Wear disposable gloves. Spread it all over the conductors and lugs, don't be shy. When you're all done you will sleep easy. Works on copper and aluminum. Read the instructions and label.

If you need this then this is an amazing value.

Works perfect on aluminum conductors connections.
