Many people do use petroleum jelly, but I've heard that pj does slowly break down o-ring material

Go to a Home Depot/ Lowes and check the water filter section. They may have silicone lubricant that's made for R/O system o-rings, or this http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_viewi...ntent=CP3511&gclid=CLi0qI29jMMCFS0Q7AodryMAgw

Only use silicon oil for Eheim o-rings.
Petroleum-based lubricants can compromise the rubber and lead to leaks.
