Earl's Performance Pro-Lite 350 Hose

Anyone use this hose for the oil cooler lines? Here is the spec for the hose, it cost a little more than the ss braded line.

Pro-Lite 350 hose is constructed in the U.S.A. of a tough, abrasion-resistant Nylon sheathing, banded to the textile inner braid embedded in the synthetic rubber liner. This gives the hose incredible flexibility, while maintaining the ability to withstand high vacuum and hot oil temperatures. It can withstand a maximum pressure rating of 350 psi, and an operating temperature range of -40 to +300 degrees F. The Pro Lite 350 hose can take the most demanding conditions and still deliver you to the winner's circle.

I thinking about using this because i dont want to have to worry about the ss line rubbing away, this is suppose to be abrasion resistant.

I used it for my oil cooler hose and fuel hose. It's lighter and a hell of of lot easier to work with than stainless line. Plus it looks cooler!

I used it on my fuel lines...Just look at the pressure rating for the hose, if it's more then 150 you should be fine for oil lines.

I've used this hose on another car and it seems pretty heat-resistant too. As with any custom job, double-check your work (especially if you're crimping hose connections or fittings).

Take a look at the Ultra Flex 650 hose.
.
I'm thinking about using it for my car if I can find a US dealer that carries it and it doesn't cost an absolute fortune.
