Just make sure you buy an origonal porsche oil hose. There are aftermarket ones out there from URO and they are so bad it's unbeliveable....

The URO ones seem good before you install them but then after 3-6 months the motor oil has a reaction with the garbage rubber they are made from and the hose swells and becomes incredibly soft and spongy.
That hose has no reinforcemnet fibers molded into it like all pressure hoses. The origonal porsche hose is also unreinforced molded rubber but they don't swell up and becoime soft from motor oil. The oem hoses are stable and just dry rot and crack eventually after 20+ years.

Pelican only sells the oem hose while that place in Miami that starts with V sold me the URO hose at the same price of around $23. Only reason I ordered it from Miami was so I'd recieve it the next day and I didn't know it would be an inferior aftermarket oil line.
