Finishing the install of the turbo upgrade and need a hose for the turbo oil return to block.

I have a 90 degree coolant hose that will do the job but will this be ok for oil. I wouldn't expect heat to be an issue but not sure about the oil affecting the rubber.

Opinions.

Coolant hose is no good for oil, it will perish.

x2. Get oil rated hose or you are wasting your time.

Not sure where you are in melbourne, but enzed in bayswater (on dorset rd b/t cantebury and mountain highway) were super helpful when i was sourcing hoses, fittings, clamps etc for my turbo install. Speak to Jude (Jude's a dude ;))
