Hey all,

Engine is out and Im going to put on new oil cooler lines.

There are 4 brands of lines available at various prices. Who is the OEM?

Anyone have good or bad things to say about the brand they chose?

I got two different brands when I ordered mine. I didn't notice any appreciable differences between the two.

I got a bad line that had a poorly formed end. Excess loose flash left on end and the bends didn't let it fit correctly so I couldn't tighten it down. I don't recall the manufacturer, but the word of caution would be to inspect thoroughly before installing regardless of vendor.

Seller (not Fastlane) replaced at no cost.

Are those soft lines? I dont want to ever have to install a stock metal line in a car again. I was wondering how they came because of that fun project I had to do.
