Yes, grease the o-rings. A silicone or synthetic based grease won't attack the o-rings and will keep them lubed a long, long time. I work in the heavy equipment industry so we have access to all kinds of fun stuff. I've tried different kinds in different builds and even pulled the material safety data sheets to check for reactivity to o-rings, etc. I've had a fair bit of success with SuperLube. Not sure if that's a thing in Sweden.
As an added bonus, I've upgraded the piston o-ring in a gun or two to Viton. Fantastic material for this application, but overkill really. hehehe.
Anyhow, yes, grease the o-rings.
