The oil line that failed was ran on top of the water line and rubbed through the clear sleeve at the bottom.We have now seen may of these crimped lines fail , especially adjacent to the turbo.Do not order these crimp style.

They now will do the original style hose and screw type fittings at an extra cost Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79180-failure-of-inline-turbo-oil-filter-earls/#findComment-1205084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
