anyone run high temp silicone hose for oil drain line
So i am looking at a predrilled oil pan with a 5/8in piece in the oil pan. However the fitting is not threaded but the guy who im debating on buying it from says that he ran a high temp hose and just put the hose over the outlet and used a hose clamp to hold the hose and had no leaks.
However i read that the lines should be ss since the heat but the high temp is good to 350F so i just figured i would ask for some opinions.
thanks

I forget exactly what I've used but I haven't changed the hose since 07 when I first built the motor. Got it from a Farm and Tractor Supply hardware store. High Temp hydraulic hose I think. I did put some of the foil sleeve over it. No issues so far. Although I am probably going to do something different when I do the preventative maintenance rebuild this winter.
