I put a B&M cooler in back in 2003, and the hose that came with it is leaking. I'm seeing a little bit of seepage at the connections to the hard lines near the oil filter, and coming down the lines from the cooler too.

Does anyone have any ideas as to a particular hose type or brand that would be best to use to replace what came with the cooler?

Thanks!

Heath

I use a section of Goodyear hose, as well as whatever brand hose came with the B&M cooler on my Pathfinder and I've had no leaks or other problems so far in about 10k miles. I'm also using the el-cheapo hose clamps - I'd like to replace these with fuel line hose clamps if I can find ones in the proper size that fit 3/8" hose since they're generally better quality. Maybe it'd be wise to replace the hoses every 30-50k miles too.

Check out www.napaonline.com as they have several types of high temperature oil hoses for commercial truck hauling with temperature ratings on the high side like +200, +212, and +250 Farenheit.
