When I removed them I noticed there was some grease, but I wiped most of it off now. Just wondering what anyone has used to re grease these items.

I'm installing new O-ring seals and would like to use recommended grease.

When I reinstalled my supercharger I just used a light coat of motor oil and it worked fine. No issues and no leaks.

That will work, I usually just use wheel bearing grease cause I have it around all the time. It just helps lube the O ring so it doesn't get nicked or torn when you put it back together.

Don't use any type of assembly lube/grease or oil. Just rub some coolant on there, that is what the orings are meant to come in contact with and if any gets into the system, well that is whats in the system so no worries.

A light coat of petroleum jelly would be fine, it lessons the possibility of O-ring damage. Just a light coat.
