I've got about 50k miles on the Samco IC hoses, and now my hot side is sweating oil. I do not have a catch can or elephant hose, so all the blowby is still going into the intake. It's not as bad as the original hose (yet), but I thought this product would resist synthetic diesel oil a bit better.

I have 95k on the prototypes. Still going strong, no oil seepage at all, but I've been running with the EHM for all that of.

I noticed the Samco hoses are softer then the originals when I put them on.

I'm sure this will get an entertaining but always very educational response from Warp :wink:
I never did the EHM on my CRD, I didn't want the odor or the problems with freezing weather.
I was under the understanding that the Samcos would not sweat oil either, but they have sweated oil from early on almost four years (60,000miles) on them now. Oil has even found it's way around where they clamp causing one of the hoses to work it's way off of the intercooler (I'm scared to clamp down too tightly onto the plastic intercooler)
Now that they are getting age on them I getting more concerned that they may fail on me sometime.
That said ,I'm carefull to make sure that they do not rub on anything and I also reused that braided cover from the factory hoses on them.
