If the PT-015 is anything like the PT-010 you have to get Olympus O rings. No one else likely makes them anyway. The American suppliers of the housing should have the O rings.
As for when to replace them, probably when they stretch out and no longer stay in the groove. I have been getting about 50 to 60 dives from my PT-010 O rings before they stretch so much they won't stay in the groove. I take mine out after every dive and that likely contributes to their demise.
As for the silicone grease, many users here will tell you to stay with the manufacturers grease. I have been using ordinary pure silicone grease from my LDS for over a year on my PT-010 O rings and never had a problem. The choice is yours on that one.
Hope this helps.
