It is highly recommended to use the proper o-rings for you vehicle. They make look the same but A/C o-rings have to be exact size and thickness. We have them for your vehicle here.

As Adam stated, use only automotive o rings, they are made with a different material than plumbing O rings..

Sure, O-rings from the hardware store (engineered for water seals) will work fine; for maybe even as long as one day....

Hint: don't use the "hardware store" O-rings for oil, gasoline, etc., either !!!!
