Good advice. I also heard it from an EE friend of mine, and he was correct. Anything that is in the outdoor elements of weather (read: under the hood) needs waterproofing; most interior applications don't.
I don't like crimp connectors for use in wire joining either. Between possible loosening and potential for corrosion, I avoid using them.
