Variable pressure control during the extrusion process can cause irregularities, cracks or kinks in the internal wall of oil cooler hoses. This can create weak points that can rupture due to temperature and pressure fluctuations, causing oil loss. Engine oil cooler hoses can burst, potentially leading to the engine stalling or seizure. This increases the risk of an accident or fire.
