Using rubber hose for an Trans oil cooler.

Is it ok to use rubber lines for oil coolers? or braided metal tubing?

I usually use a minimum 300 psi-rated hydraulic hose, or hardlines.

Re: Using rubber holes for an Trans oil cooler

this is typical of what you'll find in auto parts stores or can order online if you know the diameter and lengths you need..

TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER HOSE

hardline tubing is much hardier but requires a little more time and skill.. or can use a combination of both, really depends on application..

good luck!
