Can i use regular vacuum hose?

I just pulled the uim on my s5 TII and noticed the air hoses connected to the oil nozzles were hard and some were cracked.. Can i just use regular vacuum hose to replace those hoses? Just wanted to ask before i do that.. thanks!

They're just vacuum lines, not oil lines correct? If so, just make sure you get the correct size lines. I've done it before, it works fine.

If the lines you're talking about are clear then no, you can't use vac line, but here is a great writeup if you're talking about the OMP oil lines:

if they are indeed vacuum lines yes, you can just use any vacuum line. if they are actually oil supply lines you are speaking of then no, you cannot just use vacuum lines as they are not rated for the heat of oil.
