"OIL COOLANT LINE O-RINGS" I am also replacing the oil coolant lines and have some concern with the difference in size of the OEM o-rings and the Felpro o-rings provided with part number ES72671. Concern being the OEM o-rings are THICKER and have a larger inside diameter than the replacement o-rings, by a good margin.
"QUESTION BEING" has anyone used the Felpro o-rings on the oil coolant lines and had them leak?
Thanks

About a month ago my O-Ring in my fitting started leaking so I replaced the fitting and noticed the o-ring was wider and thicker. With this being said I will revise my write up.
I would buy the new fitting, it has a o-ring inside it already. I bought a Dorman from Advance Auto Parts. Apparently the Transmission & Oil Cooler lines use the same fitting.

I've got a 97 Z71, how big of a pain is it to change the hoses when doing this project? They kind of look like a pain to get out and in.

All out OBS.
Oil cooler lines only pertain to automatics, correct?
About to pull the adapter, mines got no oil cooler fittings or lines etc. Seems like an even easier job then what I read.

Mystery oil leak solved. $8.50+tax for the 2 gaskets from GM, spent an hour or so cleaning it, looked good and stopped dripping on my garage floor.

Hey all,
Is draining the oil really necessary? I just changed mine maybe ~300 miles ago. The oil filter is above where the oil usually sits when the engine is off, couldn't I just remove the filter, R&R the assembly, then replace the filter and top off? I'd hate to lose $30 worth of Mobil 1 if I don't have to.
