Re: DIY OIL LINES?

Instead of using vacuum line, use fish hose tubing for EVERYTHING!

Check with your local parts store, you can get push on fittings and hose made by Edelmann thats the same as Aeroquips socketless stuff for much cheaper. We used them on transmission cooler lines with no clamps and never have a problem, same with fuel and oil. No clamps, looks clean.

Atleast spend the $5-10 on ebay and order you some T-bar hose clamps that will fit the size lines you're looking for. Cheap insurance.
