It's thinner and less viscous than silicone dielectric grease, so it's easier to apply. I can apply it right into a terminal with minimal mess and effort--good luck trying that with the typical silicone dielectric grease. It's also a synthetic grease--it uses PAO, according to the datasheet.
It meets the following specifications: Ford: WSB-M1C239-A, GM: 9986087, DaimlerChrysler: MS-9469 and is what is used at the factory. It is also the subject of several Ford TSBs recommending it's use for most electrical connections, the exception being spark plug wires for which silicone dielectric grease is preferred.

"Before the use of high contact force, fretting corrosion was minimized with NyoGel 760G, a synthetic connector grease Nye developed more than 10 years ago," Holley said. "In fact, NyoGel 760G has become 'the standard' in automotive connectors, specified by DaimlerChrysler, Ford, and General Motors. We believe 760G will continue to play a major role in minimizing fretting corrosion, perhaps even in the new Flex connectors, where insertion force is not an issue.

I've used both, and I much prefer the Nyogel 760G.
By the way, prior to Nyogel 760G Ford and others used a white lithium based grease from the factory. This had problems where it would attack the plastic on the connector housings.
