Bel Ray Saltwater Proof grease. Thick and waterproof. I guess just about any grease would work okay, though.

I use "No Toil" filter oil and amusingly named "Rim Grease"! It comes in a pack with cleaner. When you need to clean your filter, just put some of the cleaner and some washing powder in your washing machine with the filter and put it on a warm cycle - they come out like new! Ive got 4 filters so I clean them all at once, oil them, then bag em up ready for use.

If you are using a petroleum based filter oil, then use any lithium based grease. Just a line the width of your finger all the way around the filter lip is all you need. It will tack up with the oil and help seal.
If you use alcohol based filter oil, like No-Toil you need to use their grease. Lithium based petroleum greases will NOT come clean using the No-Toil cleaning solution.
I personally us No-Toil oil and lithium based grease. (too tight to buy No-Toil's stuff) My filters come spotless clean except for where I seal with grease.

Use any grease. Those white ones are sticker and will hold on tight. Don't put too much, though: the engine might suck a little into the carburator.
