I finally drove my GX enough to need to change the low pressure fuel filter I bought on line a few weeks back. The GX shop manual says to use a silicon based grease on the "O" rings. Interestingly, it specifies a different grease for each of the low and high pressure filters. I've seen silicon-based oil in a spray can, but never grease. I thought, "OK, I'll go to the nearby AutoZone store and pick up some silicon-based grease." They didn't know what was in their grease. Ditto at Checker. The labels mostly indicated lithium base. Some were moly-based.
For all of you out there who change your own filters, what specific grease do you use on the "O" rings? Where do you get it? Are you putting any grease on the "O" rings as the manual instructs?
Somebody please point me in the right direction!
