Zeke 5,504 Posted December 27, 2015 First, is it a bad thing when you're wife realizes the 4 ammo cans she got you for Christmas wasn't enough? Or when you do? Second, much talk here about greasing seals. Grease with what? And like remove them? Thank you in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Displaced Texan 11,748 Posted December 27, 2015 I grease them with vacuum grease, but I have a lot of that on hand for my job. Any silicone based grease will work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Displaced Texan 11,748 Posted December 27, 2015 I don't know about Mobil 1 grease, but this will work perfectly: http://www.super-lube.com/silicone-lubricating-grease-with-syncolon-ptfe-ezp-53.html Some grease has additives that may harm o-rings. Not sure if Mobil 1 is suitable for rubber or viton o-rings. The Super Lube Sillicone grease is fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhunted 887 Posted December 27, 2015 Get the silicon gel they put on pool filter o-rings..... Like Aladdin Magic Lube Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUTGERS95 890 Posted December 28, 2015 I use plumbers grease and Green Grease (great stuff by the way) any waterproof grease should suffice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyS. 12 Posted December 31, 2015 White lithium grease will work perfectly fine. I picked up a small tube of Permatex White Lithium from the auto parts store for a few bucks. Use it on o-rings for flashlights, on door and trunk gaskets on my truck. Lotsa uses for that stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
