Which is correct? Are AP over cautious?
I (just) have a Kiss and use O2 grease for the following reasons.
When I put it together, I only had O2 grease.
You use so little of it, the cost is not really an issue.
Martin (my Instructor) fells that silicone attracts crap more than O2 grease, he stresses that's his own opinion, but Silicone does seem thicker.
