no one around me stocks aeromotive except a couple machine shops. Went there and they wanted $25/foot and i told them to eat a dick. I'm not welcome back anymore, and i procrastinate on ordering ----.

All in all, the hot water heater hose lasted a long as time, and I'll probably be using it again.

Whos selling kits for $150? Full-race selling oil line kits now 2 or what?
That hose would work, just have to make sure you can get the right fitting that correspond, that would be the tricky part. Just do your homework and youll be fine.

i use those products everyday on the job and in no way whould use it for an oil drain. it reduces down to 3/8 and isnt designed or rated for petrolium products which might break it down. id reccomend some 5/8 rubber hose which is wayy cheaper and whould drain better, a couple of polly or pex adapters, and some hose clamps.

I wouldnt trust the nylon hose-end on that thing. Turbos are known to get a little warm

Get one made for a sink, so it'll be 3/8 compresson on one side and 1/2 pipe thread on the other. Get the right fittings and go. Any hardware store will have it. The only problem is that those ******* are small, and probably wouldn't work too well on an oil drain line.

Come on, guys... I know it's a HMT tradition to use cheap hardware store stuff, but there's some ---- you just shouldn't skimp on - oil lines, mainly. :1
