I know about the cable grease. Not many folks keep it on hand. I used Yellow and Blue professionally. Small amt of Vaseline won't hurt. If petroleum hurt rubber too much, my old Johnson woulda quit running 20 years ago. It stayed soaked in oil. The tubing is plastic.
I believe most of the rubber in outdoor products is synthetic (neoprene) and
Vaseline won't hurt it. I am no expert.

Don't use Vaseline on condoms.

Soap will work.
