I use olive oil regularly. Just a smear on the fitting parts and the o seals

Martp,

It should not be that tight even without a lube, are you sure that the o-rings are of the correct size?

Someone could have replaced the original o-rings with ones that 'fit' but have a greater thickness.

Olive oil is fine, I use 'red rubber grease', it is a grease made from vegetable matter.
