Default Injector install ?

After removing the intake. And removing the injectors. Are the seals lubed for re-install? If so, what is used?
Thanks

i usually use AC refridgerant oil. it seems to keep the o rings lubed over time better,,,in case you need to remove them later they will pop right out. good luck
