Default O rings any good?

My oil filter adapter is leaking pretty good. All my local places only sell the big o ring and I rather replace them all while I have it apart. I found a kit made by crown online. Was wondering if crown o rings any good?

I know everyone says to do all 3, but the 2 smaller ones looked brand new on mine when I did it, and the big one was losing about a quart a day!

Well I just stopped at the dealer on the way to work today. It was $7 for all 3 o rings. Now I hear the bolt/tube(idk the technical name) for this thing can be hard to get off. any advice to make it quick and painless? this is my dd now so it cant be downed for more then a day. Someone suggested getting a replacement bolt/tube, should this be something I should be looking into also?

It took me about 30 min for mine. Super simple.
