   Those felt washers are for a different purpose than for corrosion.   
      
   For corrosion protection, almost any grease on your shelf will work, some   
   better than others under various cold/hot temperature conditions.   
      
   Even K-Y Jelly will work but put the grease on AFTER you tighten the   
   connections because all but the graphite greases are non conductors.
