Are you still using your stock oil cooler hoses?

I just bought some new ones figured after over 20 yrs they needed to be replaced so was just wondering how long will the stock ones go? Or am ,I lucky that they lasted this long?

I replaced mine a few years back. I haven't had any internal failures that sent trash into the radiator so I had no problem doing that. If something did, however, I would not run them for fear if some stuff in the radiator going into my fresh motor.

Stopped using the stock oil cooler lines after engine was rebuilt few years ago...builder advised against using them.
