I personally wouldn't used a barbed fitting for oil feed. The line is pressurized and I just wouldn't trust a barbed fitting but for the drain would be fine. My 0.02

I felt the same way, but for me, it has worked well for the past year or two.

As long as it worked....I thought about saving some money and doing it that way but i hate working under my car and didn't want to have to do it twice just incase it decided to blow off or something.
