Title: Best place to get cooler oil lines?
Post by: Eisenfarn on Saturday, 11 April 2020, 12:17 PM
Hi guys, started a minor job on me G5 which has of course turned into a saga: where's the best place to get a pair of oil lines from the engine to the standard cooler, stainless if possible?, thanks.

Suzuki for standard, but take a mortgage out.

I took the old ones to Pirtek & they crimped new flexi hoses onto the original flanged sections. They were silver not the original black, but you could paint them easy enough & total cost was about £50.

OK great thanks, do I need to drain the oil before removal?

Only from the cooler, that'll come out soon enough when you remove one of the pipes.

I think it's about 3/4 ltr. But if you catch it you'll know how much to put back in anyway.
