I bought a few of these rebuild kits for my auto stop valve and have
rebuilt two different ones with good results. I paid about 11.00 each
for the kits from my local dealer and mine can with about 5 seals
although it's normally only two that go bad. Some of the kits come with
a small amount of lube to put on the rubber O-rings to keep them from
drying out over time.

In speaking to the tech guy he told me Vaseline or or silicone gel
works fine. One thing you need to do is really clean the brass well.
Karl passed this tip onto me and it's extended the amount of time
between rebuilds to a few years but rest a sure the rebuilds only last
so long. . .

Oh well. Think I'll keep my current o-rings.An equal amount of gold is
cheaper. What I will do is disassemblel  the valve and lubricate the
parts. Anybody know what is the proper lubricant?
