When I re-assembled all the accessories to my new engine two years ago, I used the O-ring that our Pedantic Mechanic friend recommended. It seemed a little thin at the time as it was barely proud of the surface of the adapter, but I used it anyway. It did not leak for about the first 5,000 miles, but then started seeping a slight amount of oil. If anyone is planning to use that particular O-ring , I would recommend going with a slightly heavier one.
As for me, I am going to replace the o-ringwithy a square sealing gasket from an oil filter. It seemed to work better.
