Which hose are you referring to? The one that runs on top of the intake manifold?

Default No, if you look at the picture, you can see the one hose..

with the clamp on it coming out of that silver box, theres a hose right next to that one. The one right next to it needs to be changed

Default Ah, oil cooler hose. I just did mine and it sucked. Those clamps are little bastards to get off

You will lose a little over a gallon of coolant doing this.

Default A gallon? How much coolant is in there?

Also, where did you get the new hose from?
