External engine oil cooler failure

Never fixed them, only fly them. I was the branch officer in the hydraulic shop in the navy though. My 240z had stainless steel brake hardlines. On topic, stay away

On topic, stay away from the press fit couplers for sure. The company says they probably failed due to hose shrinkage and engine vibrations, but the cooler had 3000 miles on it and I had just done an oil change and line inspection prior to the failure.
