I thought it was that but not quite sure. I saw someone saying they lubed stabs with 105 and dielectric for the stems. Isn’t 105 too liquid for using on stabs?

Yeah, 105 is not going to work great for the stabs. The point of lubricating stabs is mostly to silence them (the place where the wire goes into the hole) and less so to make them smooth (lubing the places where the two plastic parts rub). You could use 105 for the plastic on plastic part, but it’s not going to do a great job since it’s so thin. As far as the grease on the wires, dielectric grease or 205 is good. I actually picked up some XHT-BDZ G1.5 from divinikey for the wires, it’s suuuuper thick kinda like automotive grease (only a hundred times the price) and it works great if you don’t overdo it.
