I will be installing a new motor and impeller assembly for a KitchenAid dishwasher (when the parts arrive in a few days). The service technician removal/reassembly instructions that came with the dishwasher call for lubricating rubber components during reassembly, but don't specify the lubricant. Any thoughts about what the correct lubricant would be?

Would silicone grease be called for in this application?

The lube is just for installation, once installed it don't really matter.
