It will be interesting to read about the longer term effect of heat/oil on the hose. In theory, wire reinforced Silicone hose may a better choice - if you can find it.

Not clear but translucent enough to see any oil.

I like it, but still uncertain to me if it'll collapse under vacuum, the way my first one did. But being silicone is a plus, for sure.

In my experience only the steel wire reinforced tubing will withstand the vacuum in this diameter. The smaller vacuum lines can be thick wall silicone without collapsing but not the large ones we are discussing.
It will be great if the hose shown stays clear colored and does not become brittle. The silicone equivalent is expensive in clear and difficult to find.
