It should be an oil resistant hose.

But, I have had a "normal" hose on there though for at least 3 years, and
notice no porousness or damage...

If you keep your eye on it and replace it when worn.... probably doesn't
matter what kind of hose it is.

See ya

I need to replace the Breather hose on my 85 1.9. Can I just go to a
Flaps? If so what do I ask for? Is it just rubber hose that feels
different now because of years of abuse, or is it special oil resistant
hose?
