Over winter I added in the driftmotion Intercooler (yeeeah the new one, sadly, not the old version) and had to relocate my oil cooler. With zip ties, I could just strap it down, somewhat in the same spot, but I want to move into a better location since it's almost spring and my winter projects are nearing completion.

In trying to find lines (3/8 ID, based on my own measurements and the internet) I can't find a PTFE line anywhere that is that size. It does not work with -6AN and -8AN.

Has anyone replaced lines? If so, what did you use?

Do you still have the factory pressure-based oil cooling system? If so, you should replace everything with a thermostat-based system.

I bought a 25 foot box of Derale 13017 (Continental, ContiTech) 3/8 engine oil/transmission/ power steering hose to replace the oil coolant circuit and power steering low-pressure lines. 10 years later I'm still using hose from the box.
