eh, most likely injector orings are viton, since they can get wet with fuel.

and since these are static orings the lubrication is only for installation protection of the oring. it serves NO purpose after installation.

engine oil is fine.

Has anyone changed their transmission oil? What grade/make did you use? Did it make shifts smoother?
