I won't use anything but Delphi anymore based on some cheaper brands dying a couple days out.
On this car, one died last fall. Another this summer. Told owner next coil fail, plugs get replaced as a recent post (re BMW) said changing the plugs every 50k miles takes a load off the coil packs.
I don't think this car is at the plug change interval yet but I'm changing them. Just a thin layer of dielectric grease.....

Crossed my mind last night. You could pull all of the plastic then just let it idle for a while then pull the coils.
I wonder how "stiff" dielectric grease gets over time? Maybe heat would soften it if it had been previously applied?
Silicone grease would work too but then there is no dielectric barrier.
