I think mine are 1/8" - you say the originals were 1/4"? I didn't even compare the inside diameters! I'm pretty sure the return hose is 1/8", because I just screwed it into the bottom of the filter yesterday. Could cause an oil starvation issue?

1/8" pipe thread is normally used with 1/4" OD tube and 1/4" ID hose. The pipe thread size categories will not agree with tubing and hose sizes. I think it was made this way to deliberately confuse people! :wink:
