Oil resistant hose is best, but I have a piece of coolant hose serving
the perpouse for the moment. ?This is not a "critical" hose so far as
engine life goes. If it gets a hole in it the engine will run rough, but
won't seize, or overheat or soming nasty like that. I just watch mine,
and will change it out when it's needed or convenient to get the oil
resistant stuff.
