Certainly not dielectric grease, dielectric grease impedes the flow of electricity.

I use good ol Vasoline, been doing it for years and years.
I coat the battery terminals in it.
After cleaning frame ground points to shiny metal I put it on the frame and the ring terminal.

I've never had a corroded connection after doing this.

There are products out there for this but they are very close to Vasoline & why pay more?

All you're doing is to put a layer on the connection to keep oxygen away.


So, the vasoline won't impede electricity flow?

Is that fusable link block behind the battery a ground point? All those fusable links bolt down to this block, and then the block is bolted to the frame.

Does anyone have a diagram of the ground points on an 89? I believe there is supposed to be one above the oil filter somewhere. Looks like that would be a pain trying to get a brush to it.
