silicone grease for O'rings

Is there an easy alternative? My injectors are apart and I forgot to get some. Can I use vegetable oil, lol, is it simply to make them slide in easily?

thanks

I always use a little dab of moly grease (like for wheel bearings, comes in a tub), or just a thin film of Vaseline.
