This hose is normally used in fuel and air delivery and occasionally for turbo oil supply applications. all low pressure, low heat applications.I dont mean to rain on your parade but i think the heat from the turbo and the high oil temp associated with the drain with cook the teflon and it will leak through the braid in timeOnce it was been installed and heat cycled a couple of time be careful to avoid flexing the hose as this can crack the teflon lining once its taken a heat set.

mic Donating Members 1,725 Member For: 17y 1m 21d Gender: Male Posted 15/01/10 10:34 AM Share Posted 15/01/10 10:34 AM I had this on my high mount, lasted a week. then had numerous "heat proof" pieces of rubber oil pipe that were also insulated by a fire proof fibreglass cover. all turned black and crumbled. it has to be all metal, no closer than 5-6cm to the manifold for the rubber/teflon braid. stock oil drain is $140 from ford.
