Can I use rubber hose for engine oil cooler lines?
The stock cooler uses a proprietary fitting that don’t seem to exist anywhere else. You will have to get a new cooler if you want to use “normal” fittings. I would stay away from rubber hoses and barbs.
What flows through oil cooler lines?
A stock oil cooler often consists of nothing more than a collar — through which engine coolant flows — between the block and the oil filter.
Where does an oil cooler connect?
Usually, they are placed where they can receive maximum airflow such as in front of or behind the radiator or fans. Oil coolers attach to an adapter near the oil filter to ensure adequate pressure through the system. Oil is air cooled as it circulates through the cooler before it returns to the engine.
Can you use fuel injection hose for oil?
Fuel line is a petroleum-resistant nitrile tube with a covering that resists weathering, ozone and heat and can be used for ethanol-laced fuels and diesel fuel. It should, however, not be used on coolant systems, oil systems or fuel-injection systems that produce pressures higher than 50 psi.
Can I use fuel hose for transmission cooler?
You shouldn’t use fuel line for a transmission cooler application, nor a windshield washer hose for a purge line.
Can coolant leak from oil cooler?
Coolant Leakage An oil cooler’s external failure can leak out the coolant from the engine. The leak could result in anything from a small puddle to a steady stream of coolant under the vehicle. A coolant leak from a bad oil cooler can cause engine overheating problems.
Can oil cooler lines leak coolant?
Oil cooler lines will usually leak oil, as oil is what flows through those lines. If the engine is leaking coolant, then it is either from the coolant lines that go to the oil cooler or from somewhere else in the cooling system.
Can oil cooler causing low oil pressure?
If the oil cooler bypass-valve is stuck in the position where oil is not going through the oil cooler, it’s going to get pretty damn hot. Causing the viscosity to break down causing you to lose pressure.
What kind of hose can I use for oil?
Low Pressure Fuel Hose Standard fuel line is capable of supporting gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, ethanol, and oil.
Can you use transmission cooler hose for fuel line?
Is fuel hose OK for oil?
What kind of hose can I use for transmission fluid?
Due to the chemical properties of PTFE hose it’s a perfect fit for using braided lines for your transmission fluid lines.
