My LBS didn't and the subject of the compatibility of regular grease with carbon components comes up here fairly often with no consensus at all.
I believe silicone grease would be a suitable lube and shouldn't cause any problems in contact with carbon. You can get a small container at hardware and auto parts stores. It is used to lube O-rings, brake parts and plumbing rubber seals so it is compatible with all plastics and rubbers.
