Any car jockey can easily determine that you've got a well made product there. The hose is a wrapped hose, as was the case with OE up until a few years ago. The crimp is extra long..........greater than OE...........and potentially more durable.

The weight of the unit might be slightly greater than OE, however, have no fears about any kind of fatigue failure............those that cite "fatigue" as a failure mode usually have no understanding of it. This hose, and the oil cooler, will never fail in fatigue.........a cyclic phenomena that is not present in this application.

Unlike some folks, you need not bow down to the great engineers that work for M/B...........judgments on what goes into a vehicle are largely dictated to them based upon costs.
