Oil pump priming question

I'm putting my 1992 900S CV back together now, having replaced the oil pump gasket and crank pulley.
In following the Townsend procedure, it was recommended to use either Vaseline or a high quality grease. I had some white lithium grease on hand and used that instead of vaseline to pack the oil pump. It seemed a little "stiff" moving the pump gears by hand with this grease.
Will white lithium grease work okay to prime the pump or will it cause problems? I don't want to go any further in the reassembly if this grease might cause a problem. Will it mix okay with motor oil?
The Townsend procedure calls for changing the oil after running the car to check oil pressure and for leaks, after running it up to operating temperature.
Thanks for inputs.
