Description
The Essex Rotary high quality RX-8 oil cooler hose kit just got even better, building on our tried and tested braided oil cooler hose kit, we are not offering this same design but in a lower profile and more durable PTFE hose system
Like our original kit these are built to the same design but the PTFE braided hose has a smaller external profile while maintaining the same internal size.
The PTFE lines hose offers superior longevity and resistance to breakdown from modern oils providing longer part service life. we pair this hose kit up with PTFE compatible hose ends that are much simpler in design and use less internal seals thus reducing potential weak points found with AN hose fittings designed for Rubber lines hose that can potentially leak years in to service.
Our new kit offers the same advantages as our older Rubber Braided hose kit with increased durability and service life.
Our New PTFE braided stainless steel oil hoses are an ideal replacement for the standard hard line/rubber hose combo fitted by Mazda that is prone to corrosion, causing oil leaks and if gone unchecked this issue could cause catastrophic engine failure.
The main telltale sign for this kind of failure can be
- Oil Patches in front of the front wheels
- Oily or wet looking wheel arch liners (even in the dry)
- Oil trains being left behind the car when driving
- What seems like extreme oil consumption
If your not sure if your oil lines need changing please checkout our youtube video below.
Our stainless hose kit is constructed from high quality PTFE compatible AN fittings and stainless braided PTFE lines oil line. the kit also includes all fittings and hose brackets required to install your new oil lines.
Each braided oil cooler hose is hand assembles in house at Essex Rotary from selected parts, they are then pressure tested to ensure hose integrity and protective coverings are applied in areas where abrasion may be an issue, Something that many of the cheaper kits do not use or include.
Our Oil cooler hoses are designed to offer you years of problem free rotoring.
Each kit includes
- 3 x Replacement Stainless Steel Braided PTFE Oil Cooler Hoses (these will replace all the Mazda OEM oil hoses on the engine)
- 6 x Hose Adaptors (AN to Metric) for your oil coolers and engine block
- 4 x CNC Aluminium Hose Clamps
- 6 x Replacement Crush Washers
Inspecting Your Oil Lines For Leaks
Installation Tips Video
Please remember that these kits are hand built and pressure tested at our own workshop here in the UK, they are not assembled on mass in a factory in China, as a result there may be a delay in getting these parts to you.
These kits are currently made to order, Please allow up to 21 days for assembly and delivery of your hose kit
Product images are of our older rubber lines kit however this kit loos very similar. updated product images will be available soon.
Installation Note
Installation of PTFE hoses requires a little more care and attention than the traditional rubber braided hose kits.
When installing our PTFE hoses please note that the hose is not quite as flexible as our older rubber hose, and it bent to tightly it can kink the internal hose liner, reducing performance, oil flow and creating a potential weak point. We have trialed this kit for some time and proper installtion will not result in this issue, however please do not excessively bend or kink the hose during installation, Also do not twist the hose as this may induce a similar weak point.
If you need to rotate one of the hose ends for installation please lightly loosen the end fitting on the hose to allow for it to rotate.
Install the hose end on its adaptors either end , ensuring there are not twists or kinks then once tightened down on the adaptors you can righten the hose end to hose fitting.
This is the safest way we have found to install these PTFE hoses without failure.
