Default Quick question abotu o rings

I had the radiator repaired on this 96 chevy. It has an oil cooler
built into the radiator. O noticed the lines had o rings on them where
they go into the radiator. There was nothing left of the o rings but it
looked like they were green. How can I tell what the proper size o
rings is? Just ones that fits snuggly on the end of the line?

You need O rings of the proper size of course and they must be oil
resistant.

Lots of criteria to consider if your going to replace the o-rings from
scratch like that.
Cant you go to say, a junk yard, and at least get a worn one to use as a
guide or a radiator shop that maybe has some on a peg they'll sell you 5 for
a dollar?

Why not try a dearer. They should have the right part number...
