The hose itself isn't going to fail but I wouldn't trust the simple burr fittings with the high pressures that our oil pumps put out.
I was just doing some more reasearch on this, and; since I dont really like the Brass/Barb/Burr hose fittings myself as they do tend to be a failure for a lot of things... I've been subjectivly looking at a different style of fitting. I located this at Advance Auto Parts (and likely other places).



I'm in the process of looking for a better hose clamp than the worm style. I'd like to use/find the T-Bolt style commonly found with fuel injection systems; only they are hard to come by at ~1 inch diameters.

Also, Amazon.com sells this oil cooler kit for $85 located here:
