From the CAIG website:
When do I use DeoxIT® D-Series vs DeoxIT® Gold G-Series vs DeoxIT® Shield S-Series ?
DeoxIT® D-Series.
General purpose cleaner, for all metal surfaces with severe oxidation and corrosion. If there is a discoloration of the metal - it is considered severe. Use DeoxIT® to dissolve contamination, as well as lubricate and protect the surface. For reference, DeoxIT® has approximately 20% cleaning action.
DeoxIT® Gold G-Series.
For plated surfaces (gold and other precious metals). Recommended for critical applications where only slight cleaning action is necessary. For reference, DeoxIT® Gold has approximately 0.5% cleaning action. If the surface looks clean, applying DeoxIT® first is usually not necessary. If small amounts of oxidation are present on the surface, DeoxIT® Gold will dissolve this. Apply DeoxIT® Gold after DeoxIT® on plated metal surfaces, except where noted with DeoxIT® Shield below. The more critical the connection/part, especially low current applications, DeoxIT® Gold should be the final step.
DeoxIT® Shield S-Series.
Suitable for all metal surfaces tp seal and protect. Recommended after DeoxIT® for best protection or on NEW metal surfaces (usually in the manufacturing process). Also ideal where high degrees of pollution (sulfur, salts, acids, etc.) are present. DeoxIT® Shield should be applied to clean surfaces - after applying DeoxIT® or using an ultrasonic cleaner. For reference, DeoxIT® Shield has 0% cleaning action.
DeoxIT® Fader F-Series.
DeoxIT® Fader F-Series is a precision lubricant specifically formulated to improve conductivity and lubricate conductive plastic and carbon compound faders, switches and other similar components.

The juxtaposition of the last two posts above is striking.
Just to clarify: Are you giving more credibility to the BBE tech than to Caig themselves? If that is so, can you comment on your reasoning?

I'm just going to spray D5 into the pots as DeoxiT states on their website & as the BBE repairman told me - no 'additional' lube is required.

“Bottom line, like Caig, that superfilter and super uper duper oil only buys you do much. You change the oil every 3,000 miles, add that up, in 300,000 miles that is 100 times the cost. If it is $50 per oil chnge, that is fifty grand.
You will have a hard time getting fifty grand out of a car with 300,000 miles on it.
It is a matter of perspective.[/QUOTE]”
Wow, that is some truly incredible math. Let me get this straight. 100 oil changes at $50 each, according to you, costs $50,000???!?
