I've had the aftermarket Standard brand oring set for over a year now with no issues.

When I was doing research on the strut assembly and how to size an O-ring a few weeks ago.....I found a GREAT O-ring design guide. Here is the link to the page:

https://www.applerubber.com/seal-des.../introduction/

From that page, you'll see a "Seal Design Guide" link which is a PDF on the right. As an excellent document.

Definitely not all created equal! However, o-rings of the right size and made for injectors should be just fine, if you can find generic ones for your car. I'm sure MP4's link would be able to get you a suitable set.
