Hello,

If you're keen on spending more money on better hoses there are silicon replacements available. I think this is the route I plan to go once I get my engine clean of an oil cooler leak. I have seen several Google results but I think these are the two companies mentioned on this board:

Which I think might be the same company but different international sites.

Good luck!
