Water Manifold Leaking Repair in Process

Well, I pulled and disassembled my leaking water manifold. Fortunately, I cannot find any cracks on the casing, only a couple of O-rings that are worse for wear. I do have a question, once I get the new O-rings, what is the best lube to put on them before installing?
Thanks

And as always, I cannot say enough about my friend Mike Rash, this man is truly an expert on these coaches. THANKS MIKE!

Vaseline is petroleum based and not recommended for rubber o rings. Silicone/plumbers grease is better.

Since it's in contact with your fresh water, something NSF (normally safe for food). 

Super Lube is one such beast  O-Ring Silicone Grease | Super Lube

Dow 111 also fits the bill Dow 111 O-Ring Lubricant
