Huh?
I took my line sample from the same place, but slightly ABOVE the break in the line, which was at the junction of the oil filter fitting. It measures quite a bit larger in OD <+1mm> and ID <+.5mm>.
Are you sure you have a OEM line? I would expect the section around the fitting to be too distorted to provide a good measurement -- which is why I took a fresh sample 20mm up the tube.
Mine is from the 1980 W126 300SD that blew a piston. I'll double check my measurements.

The ID is 3mm and the OD is a hair under 5mm.
Ther is a lot of Platic Gauge lines available and they will hold the pressure. However, that does not mean that the ID will be correct or that if the ID is correct when you shove it over the Barb on the Stock Connectors it is going to hold.
There is also one of those skinny plastic lines that feeds the Fuel Injection Pump Oil just waiting to crack and spew Oil.
