Use good clamps , check them every now and then , use two clamps on each end to be sure. Oil psi is 3 bar or 43 psi. Maybe it's a bit higher than gauge will read. It's still going. I did this to a 1993 2.5 about 4 years ago and it's still going. So there is a real quick fix for you.

Don't use heater hose and expect it to last a long time. The hose has to be rated for hot engine oil. Ask me how I know...
