Crash and List
The difference in pressure drop between 1/2 and 3/8 at the flow rates
involved should be insignificant.
The pressure drop will be higher in the following places
oil filter tap port where the ID is < 3/8 at it's smallest point
Banjo fitting where the annular area is small
Banjo bolt cross drilled holed are small
I'm running a 3/8 high efficiency power steering oil cooler from a Jeep
Liberty (my company makes the p/s lines) mounted in front of radiator
no change in indicated pressure from before installation
In fact my oil pressure is 5-10 psi higher on extended highway trips
