LOL

bwahahahahahahaha

Awww anyway I would NOT use that gay little piece of **** line to run oil in my car. I wouldnt even run a mechanical oil pressure gauge but you already have it so that is beside the point. Peopel usually get the better lines to offer more "piece of mind" i guess. Getting oil off the garage floor is bad enough...I would hate to clean it out of my car. And I wouldnt give much credit to autometer because I beleive they do sell better lines for their gauges....of course they will give you the cheap crap to save them money

SS or nothing, copper will harden and crack from flexing of the motor mounts.

Then you look like James Bond laying down a oil slick..........

You can get the lines you want in 3 foot sections from Summit Racing for like $18 shipped.
