1G Aftermarket Oil cooler on stock 1ga lines

[JAW91]

Does anyone know if the stock 1ga oil cooler lines will fit on an aftermarket oil cooler? Like the one from Extremepsi?

I used a cut off wheel to cut the fittings off, then threaded them in to the ofh and put 3/8" black rubber hose on the exposed end and ran them to the cooler. So yes they "can" work with an aftermarket cooler

Yeah I might just do that because I already have all the equipment to do it but I really think I should because I want to keep the hard lines, not go to SS lines. I just figured I would post to see if anyone else had already done it since I already have the brand new aftermarket oil cooler and mines pretty beat up.

Do you happen to know what size the stock bolts are for the oil cooler?

They're M16x1.5 and this size would almost never be found on an aftermarket cooler. However, that being said there are ways to make it work but most are a PITA/expensive.

Well thanks for the help anyways, I'll probably either buy the install kit or just buy a new stock one. I really wanted to use the stock hard lines because it helps keep the cooler in place but if that's not really an option without ruining my new aftermarket oil cooler then its probably not going to happen.
