I use Tribolube on all of my dive associated O-Rings; Camera Housing, Rebreather, etc., and have never had an issue. Any potential issues with using Tribolube on the 2 blue Perdix O-Rings ?
 
It is also unnecessarily expensive. There is no reason to use such expensive lubrication on unpressurized systems like the loop on a rebreather. From what I've seen, hospitals use various food grade silicone lubricants on their Oxygen systems that come off LOX (Liquid OXygen) storage, which is in the 50-55 PSI range.

Many camera housing manufacturers are also very particular about the lubricants used.
