Good point about temps - My oil temp gauge registers oil after it has traveled through two OE coolers. So it makes sense that it is hotter in the hose that failed than anywhere else.
FWIW - we remove the theromstats and insert a machined dowel to block off the bypass channel in the coolers. That way they are always flowing oil no matter what.
I ran solvent through the cooler last night - no blockage.
I'm going to braided lines....this is a PITA
