What should I use, if anything, to lube the O-rings when installing injectors? Thanks.

I use nissan silicon spray, it works like magic for rubber.
Nissan makes the thickest goopiest spray we've found, hence my naming it specificly.

The standard is clear silicon dielectric grease. Sold everywhere and also called "tune-up grease". It is used for many things and should be in your kit. Use it on sparkplug boots to stop sticking, electrical sockets and connections to stop corrosion, rubber gaskets and seals, etc. without attacking the rubber, plastic or metal.
Hope that helps,
David

Yes, I definitely have that. I don't think my old Jeep CJ would last 5 min off-road without it!! Thanks.

I use plumber's silicone grease (called heat-proof or faucet grease) for all my o-ring needs. Handy little flip-top canister, too.
