I have a stainless steel line and its leaking a little here and there. I plan to take it out a put in a oil line hose form autozone. Is this safe to do, can it hold the heat? thanks

 

yes. Get power steering line or something that holds up to high heat.

Same thing happened to me last weekend. I took off my ss line and put some PS line from vatozone on there. I plan to replace the SS line though.

 

I have used the red heavy duty hose from napa. Worked fine. I've never had a problem with SS hose... it has leaks on the actual hose or the hose ends?

 

heater hose works too....but SS is soooo much better. when it doesnt leak...lol!

don't get heater hose - they are for coolant and not oil.. for about 4 dollars/foot you can get aeroquip blue hose thats oil resistant and rated to 300 degrees and 250psi or somewhere along that. you will need to replace your fittings with barb type.. about 50 dollars worth of parts and thousands of dollars avoided in drivetrain damage

you should not use anything other than oil resistan lines, you dont want potential leaks or material from inside the line end up in between engine parts

braided lines are not necessary, normally they allow for higher temps, but nothing you should ever encounter in a honda why you don't see any braided lines from the factory to begin with.

go to aeroquip website and find a dealer near you.. most likely a plumbing supply store

 

well the ss line is too short so it is combine with a hose... thus you can see why its leaking. guess i'll go to napa and get one of those heavy duty hose.
