I am wondering what everyone has been using for there oil line runs between the engine, coolers, and maybe a external oil filter adapter. The last plane I built, a Cozy, I used braided hoses with special fittings which cost an arm and a leg. Looking at the many pictures I have of this style of aircraft mostly all I see is barbed fittings with rubber hose and hose clamps. Can this method really handle the oil pressures and be reliable? Maybe I did an over kill on the last plane.

I used MIL-H6000 hose on my VW and it works fine. It is rated to 250 F and
1000 PSI. It isn't cheap ether but much better priced than that braded stuff
with the special fittings. Aircraft Spruce part number 6000-8 was $3.50 a
ft.
