    turbo oil return line?

    I was just wondering if it would be alright to use heater hose for the oil return line?

          you need oil lines for oil. period.

          heater hose, and even fuel line hosing wont hold up to the oil, it'll eat it over time.

              i believe i used power steering hose... simply because it's rated for similar base petroleums... just go to the any knowledgeable auto store and ask them for petroleum resistant line

                I have tried all local auto stores with no luck. I asked about power steering line and the biggest they had was 3/8". I have probably asked about twenty people and no one knows. Even EBAY let me down. what is everyone else using, and where did you get your oil lines?

                      I've been using a power steering line for over 2 years now with no problems at all.

                          When I first got my kit running I went to a truck stop and asked a mechanic for some oil drain line and he had all kinds of stuff laying around. Got a 8" long section of hose for free and it worked for 4 years. Currently I'm running braided but the rubber hose worked just fine, and was much cheaper
