Dielectric grease substitute

Ok, I have looked in several auto parts stores, electronic component shops, called Loctite, even Saab dealer. I couldn't find dielectric grease anywhere.
I did a bit of research and found out dielectric grease is silicone oil with some silica added to thicken it, also called silicone grese. I also found out that the same stuff is used to lubricate o-rings on diving equipment, cameras and faucets. I went to the local hardware store and found a tube that contains 'translucent grease for ballcock valves and o-rings'. It doesn't say it's silicone grease but I could bet on it.
I am planning to smear it on the plugs for the sake of cheap insurance. Before this I just want to get a second opinion here.
