lubricant for water pump o-ring

I am in the process of replacing the water pump and o-rings for a mcs06. The bentley book mentions a lubricant (syntheso glep 1) to use on the o-ring. does anyone know where to get this lub or any other equivalent that a local store might carry that is appropriate for this application?

thx

I used Sil-Glide brake lubricant, any silicone lubricant would do.

Beauty timing, I'm just doing that tonight and wondered what it was as well.
