Default What would be the best size line to use for a oil distribution block

I was thinking of running a -4an line to feed the distribution block and it would go to three outlets that were -3an. Would the 4 be sufficent enough. I would step up to a -6 but I can find another distribution block that excepts a -6an in and -3an out.
Any help would be appreciated.

McMaster has fluid distribution blocks with multiple ports and sizes. I am using one for my Vacuum manifold...it would work just as easily for oil distribution. You can get them with 1/4" NPT inlets and 1/8" NPT outlets...then buy -3AN to 1/8" NPT fittings and -6AN to 1/4" NPT fittings.

Yeah thats the manifold I was going to use. I was wanting to use the lines that they sell and since they do not come in actual an sizes, I was going to run 1/4 which is equal to -4an and I didn't want to step up to 3/8 which is a lil bigger than -6an unless I really needed too. Do you think that a -4an line would be big enough for a feed on for the oil?

Hmmm, I don't know. I'm using the GE sandwich plate for oil distribution. I would go -6AN if possible...
