STP or a Generic type STP. They also make O-ring lube.

When I did mine (I reused the old ones) I noticed there was a lot of sharp edges on the Air Filter Housing. I got a fine File and smoothed off the edges.
I used Silicon Sealant and glued the U-tube Seals in place after it cured; andc used STP on the Nipple of the Air Filter Housing.

It still took some force. I think the U-tube must shrink a little over the years.
