Is grease say for an Olympus housing, safe to use as grease for an Inon strobe? Also is there a grease that anyone would recommend that could be bought in bulk from a local hardware store? Anyone's experiences appreciated! thanks!

This has been discussed extensively here: Interchangeable brands of silicone grease for o-rings? - Beginner Forum - Wetpixel :: Underwater Photography Forums
Note though that the grease is not actually silicone grease in many cases as it is not compatible with silicone o-rings. and yes there is a universal solution, but probably not to be found in an average hardware store, most likely found in engineering supply stores or similar.
