I am replacing the water pump on a 2004 saab 95 arc. 2.3 Turbo. The water pump housing is connected with a short metal tube to the block. It has two o-rings on both ends. One end is inserted into the block and the other end is inserted into the water pump housing. It is calling to lubricate the o- rings with white high pressure paste grease. The saab part number to this grease is 30 06 442. I purchased Lucas white lithium grease, but it isn’t paste and on the tube it says moderate pressure. Is there a good paste grease to use for an equivalent? What do you guys use? Need both high pressure, high temp and a consistency of a paste. I’d rather use what it calls for, but I can’t find it. I don’t want these connections leaking now or in the future. Any suggestions? Thanks

To answer my own question that may help someone. The grease that it calls for is Gleitmo 805. Very difficult to find, so I went with the Molykote 111 made by Dow Chemical. You can buy this on Amazon for 16.00 a tube. I was going to buy the Superlube 93003, but it didn’t list it for extreme pressure and it wasn’t a paste. If anyone is in this situation I hope it helps.
