I actually use a very very thin layer of Sil-Glyde Synthetic Silicone grease on the coolant hoses on everything I work on.
When the bead on the tube and fitting ends is properly formed and the clamps are sufficient for the task it causes ZERO problems and the hoses don't end up bonded to the fittings.

If that stuff is petroleum based you will have issues.

Prime gives you free 2 day shipping on bunches of items and fairly cheap next day. I find it worth the yearly subscription fee.
It also gives you access to "included with Prime" movies and commercial free TV shows kinda similar to Netflix. I paid for this season of Dr Who and The Blacklist on Amazon Video but there are a lot of included videos.
