Almost anything can be used for lube, vaseline, motor oil, or a decent grease (I wouldn't use a 'moly' or anything that might have particles in it) will work. This is the return side, so it gets sent back to the tank,a nd whatever doesn't dissolve will eventually get picked up by the filter.

Make sure the return caps are seated properly. When you tighten down the injector line, it should have about 2mm clearance with the plastic cap. I used a rubber mallet and a deep well socket to seat mine. Some people can push them down by hand but I can't.

I got them all put on... Took a little longer then I expected but I took my time and I was drinking a few beers...lol.. Once side was super easy(Drivers Side).. The other side was a bit harder with little space.. The hardest one was the one under the fuel filter.. No where to turn a wrench really... Anyways its done, I started it but Will do the test drive tomorrow. Thanks for the Help guys.. Ok I am black from Hands to elbows.. time for a shower....lol
