Is NO-OX? I dont think it is.

Here's the spec sheet of that one: https://www.chemtronics.com/content/msds/TDS_CW7100.pdf
Not in any worthwhile way nor does it need to be IMHO. If you want truly worthwhile conductive grease you'll have to spring for silver paste.
Depends.
NO-OX-ID "A Special" is:
NO-OX-ID Electrical Contact Grease- Conductive Lubricant | Sanchem, Inc.
NO-OX-ID electrical contact grease prevents the formation of corrosion deposits & keeps metals free from rust & corrosion. Buy electrical conductive lubricant now!
That's what I used. It was no more nasty to use than cold petroleum jelly.
I agree completely if the surfaces are in good condition. Once they are abraded with sand paper, wire brushes etc they lose a tone of contact area and the conductive pastes restore that to a degree. I also agree that if you are going to spend money on a conductive paste it should be silver.
I have been using it for twenty years on bus bars in service panels, on breaker connection and most importantly on copper to aluminum bus bar to terminal tops. I don't care if it is conductive. All I care about is that it has prevented those connections from becoming corroded over time.
When the lug/busbar is torqued down though the thickness of that layer is going to be extremely thin. Just like tinned copper lugs where tin is actually a really poor conductor of electricity compared to copper but is very thin layer and the prevention of oxidation is also more important.
Im not really sure what the purpose of this reply was but the products like no-ox are entirely excluded from the points that actually make contact. Its not extremely thin. Where the points of contact are, it is entirely excluded. the greases purpose it to fill in the spaces where there is not intimate contact between the two surfaces and prevent atmosphere from entering an promoting corrosion. Again, anyone with half a brain knows that the paste does not have to be conductive to accomplish this task. It just has to be able to fill space and allow the two surfaces to make actual contact where they can.
You really don't need to insult people who hadn't thought of this fact. Even those of us who know sometimes have a brain fart.
Jesus Christ. Who did I insult? There is a whole bunch up above I could have been insulted by if I was a hyper emotional beta male looking for nothing but positive reinforcement. Instead I pointed out that I was aware of his his point and he would have known that if he had read any of what I had said above.
