Re: Grease
I think it depends on if it is in a temperature critical area. Some have a high melting point.

Re: Grease
Also what its lubricating i believe - i know you must use rubber grease on piston seals for example and that type of grease is organic not chemical.
If you dont have rubber grease you can use gip fat or olive oil if you're feeling posh!!

Re: Grease
LM grease is no good for any rubber items or seals
Silicone and red rubber grease for them Duck fats good in a wok sent with all the fury of a clogged drain!!
