Stock oil cooler hose size

[jaxtaterror]

Any one know the size of the stock oil cooler hose? Mine are leaking badly, and I want to do a quick replacement so I can drive the car once in a while.

I'm going to do a complete oil cooler install, tstat, braided hoses, etc when I install the new engine, but just want to replace the lines quickly until then.

I don't want to order Toyota lines as my local dealer never has this kind of stuff in stock and don't want to wait for the parts from Jeff Watson.

Thanks,
Don

For posterities’ sake, the answer is 3/8”. Changed mine out tonight, and appears to have resolved my leak. The old ones were most grubby and oily.

I just bought some rubber transmission oil cooler hose 3.8" from advance auto. Cheap and easy.

does this work well? my oil cooler hose popped laast night and i had to drive the car home with around a quart of oil in her...

Actually it's 10mm but 3/8 will work. I also like to use the transmission stuff...

I have used 3/8" "fuel injection" hose for mine before I upgraded my oiling system and had no issues with leaking. Worked good. IIRC it was .50 cents a foot at the parts store. Cheap and easy fix for you bud.

There's no way real fuel injection hose is .50/ft. More like $4/ft. You got hosed

Got to agree with Jet here....the stuff I bought was about 3.50 a foot and had the blue liner inside...real FI stuff...
