Transmission oil cooler question

I'm running a oil cooler up front for my tranny. (previous owner decided the C6 didnt' need one for some reason).  There are no oil lines to the cooler.   I'm going to run rubber lines since they are easier to route.  All I can find locally is fuel line grade.  Will that hold up to the transmision fluid or will the Type F oil break it down?  Thanks..

Re: Transmission oil cooler question

I have high pressure fuel line running from my rack return line and my hydroboost return line.  The ruber will get stiff over time but should hold up.  A better option might be to use steel lines for most of it and then use a rubber connector line in the places where the bends are tight.  The more line you can do in steel the less places you have to develope a leak.
