Default Dow Corning 111 & Sensors

Dwayne's write-ups frequently caution against the use of silicone based lubricants that are not sensor safe. I am putting the cam covers and check valves back in, and was wondering if DC-111 is safe for lubricating the o-rings and other rubber here? There does not seem to be any info online regarding it's being ok to use in these areas. Any preferences if not?

Thanks,
Dave

for the cam covers the only place i would use the DC 111 is on the O rings for the vent tubes,
the spark plug rings and gasket should go on dry except for the cam cover gasket inject a bead of Hondabond into the cam cover then fit the gasket also 4 dabs at the junctions of the caps to head in the 4 corners

Silicone will poison the O2 sensor, is it bad for anything else?
