Hey guys and gals, one of the oil cooler lines going from the oil filter housing to the oil cooler up by the radiator is puking oil pretty heavily. Time to replace. I see Dorman replacements, and some off brand as well. There's also the option of taking the old lines down to a local hydraulic shop, but I'm pressed on time to be able to do that. Any suggestions for replacements that are reliable? Thanks!

I bought some from summit a couple years ago. Sunsong brand, i think.

Thanks. I'm assuming they were good since you have had them a couple years already. I actually stopped by the Summit Racing in Sparks, NV last week to see if they had them. They did not. Will probably order on either Amazon or Rock Auto.

Well, I ordered the sunsong brand lines on Rockauto for $75 shipped for both. We'll see how it goes.

they looked good, but i just stuffed them in the garage. I thought one of them was weeping, but turned out the oil was coming from higher up. so I am saving them for a rainy day if the old lines ever do go bad.
