I finally had a chance to install my new NCP oil Based Battery Corrosion Terminal Protectors .
I removed the ground/negative cable first to notably clean the terminals with some battery terminal cleaner and added a tab of dielectric grease around the terminals.
I then removed the positive terminal and repeated the above steps and lastly installed the positive terminal first and the ground terminal for last. Z

That clean look!  Love it!  I think it is time to do the ones on my Edge.  Too much dirt & grime collected on them now, making the Optima Red look BAD (no, not in a good way).

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I'm not exactly electrically inclined, so what is the purpose of these? Just to prevent the white buildup on the terminals?

On a related note, I have a billet EcoBeast tie down bar, and the back of that seems to corrode as well as it's in contact with the battery. My previous solution was to cut a piece of cardboard to size and put that between the battery and the bar. Anyone have a better solution?

Clearcoating may work, but not sure.  Maybe a couple of these felt washers cut to size and applied where it is bolted down?  Wouldn't be visible from up top.

@Wardog692 -How old is your Battery?  Do you have any pics to share?  Z
Its to prevent corrosion on the terminals.

Unfortunately I don't, and I just replaced my battery on Monday, so it hasn't developed on this new battery just yet. When I originally noticed it, it was mainly corrosion on the tie down bar itself, and not on the battery FWIW.

So you could easily cut it down a 100 lbs by running only about 3 gallons in the tank.  Don't forget all that salmon in the icebox either :P

I'm taking my car in today to get the fuel pump module recall done. I returned to stock 2 days ago and, wow she is a turd. i can't believe how different she feels, the shifting is so soft and takes so long to get into the next gear. it'll be nice to put the tune back on and feel the added power again.

We did the 1/4" -18" Drain Plug Upgrade on the PTU just now, best done with a Lift,

Much easier the 2ND time around, Full blown "How To" for the forum on Monday ;D

I'm going to do mine soon as start installing this meth kit. I'm going to use the same 1/8 27npt plug that we have in the trans drain. (I also drilled and tapped the rdu with it as well). Removing the cover requires dropping the exhaust. The cover is also pretty tight between the subframe. Its all a bit of a pain, and I never wanted to do that again.
