Non conductive thermal paste

Hello guys

I hope you are all well, I was wondering if anyone could advise on non-conductive thermal paste please.

I have opened a car's ECU and want to replace a the thermal paste (which I assume it is) from my research it needs to be non-conductive/silicone based.

Could someone kindly advise on what brand I will need to use?
It is the silver paste at the bottom of the board.

BMW 360 530D

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Stulid did a excellent roundup of all the thermal pastes sold by ocuk

As above Gelid GC extreme is outstanding and i now use it on graphics cards and cpus.

You can find Stulids thread here definitely worth a read!

EDIT : I just noticed this is for a car, im not sure how pc thermal pastes stack up in comparison ( if they exist ) to vehicle thermal pastes.
