There is this red/orange O rings and are they better than the clear O rings?
Thank you again.
1) Correct, the key item is the silicone o rings
2) Yes, apply green slime or some other grease that is compatible with silicone. You would apply this to the o ring, the inside of the rod guide, and the rod where the threading is. Putting a generous amount of green slime on the threads will help prevent damaging the o rings.
3) I don't know about the red/orange o rings, I have never used them.
edit:
Can anyone explaint o me the love for the red o rings? Why not use these:
