Pressure gauge is on the side of the valve.

Found where the black plugs go. What can I use to lubricate o rings and where exactly would I find those on the pump, filter, or valve? Is something like WD40 safe? I had someone put this valve on a couple of years ago and it sounds a bit creaky while rotating now. What process would I...
