Do I need to use the lube for the octo's & gauge's o-rings and threads ?
 
Hi Nick,

You should limit lubricants to those parts that your service manuals specify for such treatment. Using it other places is an invitation to trouble.

Best regards.

Nick,
Only the o-rings should be lubricated, with appropriate silicone grease. The ring should just be shiny, not globbed with grease. Do not lube the threads.

Also, make sure that you use the right silicone grease. Food grade is all that you should use.

Just my $.02

Check your LDS. On a recent "toy run" I asked for some and had it tossed into the bag for free.
