What 'O'-ring grease should I use?
Each manufacturer uses different grease! Well that is what it appears like. Each manufacturer makes a different mix of rubber or silicone and as a consequence different lubricants have been developed to work best with each. The seal seat will also have a bearing on the type of lubricant. So as an example I regularly use four different types of lubricant on specific parts of a common camera. The range of material mixes and lubricants available means I would only recommend the manufacturers guidance for any piece of equipment. You may like to review our greases page.
