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?

Liquid rinse aid works.

I would guess that a liquid rinse agent would wash away immediately, since this area would be exposed to water during the first and every cycle after. 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?

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