I just won't get into a pissing contest with you and I’ve been using Dow Corning 340 Heat Sink Compound for decades. It is a white thermally conductive compound to improve heat transfer from transistors to the heat sink or chassis.

Obviously, the metal plate on the ICM doesn’t need an insulator, so Conductive or Non-Conductive thermal compound will work.
I recently rebuilt my distributor, and the new GM ICM came with a tiny packet of white thermal compound to "transfer heat away from the module".
As a note, my original ICM had 137k miles on the clock, NEVER failed, and it had ‘clear grease' between the ICM and the distributor.

I use a silicone conductive grease that has fine copper powder in it. It offers both thermal and electrical conduction. ------------------
