Oil cooler line size

[5150]

Im replacing my stock oil cooler lines with homemade ones. I got the line from ACE hardware, theres SS lines but there only 1/4 inch. And what i was wondering is if the size matters? Is 1/4inch to small should i get bigger lines or what?

I'm researching the same thing but not using hardware store SS line. I'd make sure its good stuff before I risked my engine to it. I know fuel line is typically -6 for moderate upgrades.

Hey, Nor Cal; I'm drinking a grape soda made in Nor Cal. It says NOR CAL on the can, like its the brand name. I'm reading it RITE THIS SECOND, we're so conected... that is the coolest thing.

OK, so not that cool, but hey; I'm board and its 4:30AM. What else can I say?

if you do some searches on here most guys will say -8(=1/2)but i did my old 90 gsx in -6(=3/8) and had no problems for 40k+ miles. I sould say your 1/4 would be a little small
