Default Bomber shock rebuild

Hi,
puzzled why my Bomber seemed more prone to tipping or failing hill climbs (wheelie) and turns out the front shocks have leaked most of the oil.

I have ordered some 30 and 50 weight silicone oil (30 for front and 50 for rear) and I read the Axial thread about shock rebuild which mentions using grease on the shaft seals but not the type of grease.

What grease should I use?

Presumably a synthetic grease because the shock oil is silicone?

Shock o-ring grease. Associated Green Slime is the most common stuff but Protek and a few other RC companies sell it. Bike and motorcycle shops also sell grease meant for lubricating fork seals which works as well.
