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?

Am I wrong in thinking that "carefully lubricate all rubber components" (language from the technician's repair sheet) might mean something more durable/longer lasting than rinse aid? Would silicone grease be called for in this application?
