Yes but what sort of O-rings? Make sure they are suitable for the application.

I have no idea what lidl is, but I've seen some $2 shops sell rubbish that doesn't stand up to heat, or has odd profiles that would allow liquid to leak past. More suitable for low pressure pvc plumbing than pressurised systems of hot liquids....

They are good quality oil, petrol and heat proof.  Lidl is a low cost supermarket.
