Enhance Engine Performance with GM Genuine Parts Engine Oil Cooler Hose Kit and Accessories Review

My old coolant hose on a '98 Chevrolet Blazer with over 188,000 miles was leaking at the junction of the rubber hose and metal pipe. The non-OEM hoses are pretty much junk, look and feel cheap and are probably made in China. My old OEM GM hose had 2 crimps on each connector. This new one has three crimps on each connection. I suspect this will last another 15 years and another 188,000 miles.

After repairing the V6 engine on my Sonoma 99 my oil cooler hoses started leaking at the pinch connections. I looked at another replacement line but it had bad reviews. So I went for an OEM product, paid more but it was worth it. The new lines now have a triple crimp at the rubber to metal transition, the old ones were just double crimp. It came with a gasket for the end that connects to the engine, but it didn't have new terminals for the colder end of the lines. It was fairly easy to replace,

This is NOT listed in the description so be prepared to go to a parts store or order it online with it. This was purchased from Delco due to the AC parts installation supplied OEM direct from the factory. Great price and product. There is no gasket supplied that attaches the pipes to the oil pump inlet above the filter. If they're worn out, which I wasn't (you can tell after a few days if they're starting to leak slowly), it's also a good idea to find or buy some "C" clips to tighten the lines…

Installed on my 1998 S-10. My existing lines were ORIGINAL (23 years old!) but they started leaking in "rivulets" and making a mess under the truck. The quality and fit of the radiator lines was excellent, just like the original. Very easy installation. I would recommend anyone installing these lines on their S-10 or Blazer ALSO replace the "quick" cooler fittings that connect to the oil cooler lines to ensure a leak-free installation. There is an internal O-ring in these ports that can reseal…
