Default Throttle Body Gasket Question

Hey fellas new to the site and I got a question for ya. I am going to clean my throttle body on my 5.7 in the next few days. My question is the new gasket I got states to install it wet. Well what do I wet it with? Do i use a touch of oil or some other type of lubricant? Any help would be appreciated.

the "gasket" is actually an o-ring, a dab of oil is all it needs to seal up.
