Not if you have oil pressure.
Just get a manual water/ oil set even cheapo sets are fine.
I know I used my fair share of the low cost ones in the 70s and tget worked fine.
If they have the plastic hose line do worry just do not over tighten the nut or run it by where it could get burnt.
I ran a T so both would work as I hate having a dead one in the dash. But that's personal.


I should have pressure, I mean I do have some oil leaks but... I have a cheap oil pressure set I'll be using to check before I head off... I definitely want whatever tool/gauge that'll help me regulate performance even help diagnose an issue in the future... Shoot, a 6ft copper line kit is only $15 and a decent gauge $25...

As far back as my use goes of them is mid 70s. And in.that time only ones i have seen the plastic lines fail on on any car was due to someone who tightened the crap out of the nut on the Ferrell. Or it was melted by exhaust.
It would not worry me to use the plastic if that is what it came with in the box.
I think most do not understand not to put one on right.
Even house plumbing guys think they should crank down on the nut.
Same guys proberly over tighten lug nuts, bolts and nuts too.
