lithium on injectors?

Im about to install new injectors and this book I have says to put lithium grease on them before install. Does it go on both o-rings or what?

Thanks in advance.

Its a good idea to put a little lubricant on the O-rings to avoid damage as they slide into the holes. But I've never heard of using lithium grease. What is the reference book?

Never noticed that one.... Chilton's says to use clean motor oil. That's all I've ever used.

You could also use an engine lube such as Seafoam DeepCreep.
