Even on cars with the fuse box under the bonnet (e.g. C900), this doesn't become a problem until the car is more than 20 years old or so. If the fuse box is internal (e.g. 9000), it's very unlikely to ever become a problem. I've seen lots of oxidation problems in light fittings, but rarely in fuse boxes. Even the old bullet type fuses, which were truly dire IMHO, managed to maintain reasonable contact over long periods. Therefore I would question the necessity of doing any fuse maintenance, except for maybe once every 10-15 years (pull out + push back in) -- Grunff
