In removing the fuel injectors on a 2001 Malibu, I found them hard to
remove due to the rubber seals being so hard and crusted. When I
re-install them, is it wise to use a lub. or some sort of conditioner
on the new rubber seats and the o rings?

I have heard off list some using vasoline. I think that might effect
the rubber over time, so am going to use diolectric grease.

If there is any printed info or long time experience on this, I am all
ears!

Go to the dealer and ask what they use.

Use the same, but dont think to use the same brand.
