My black oil gauge line broke on the car when I bumped it with a wrench.
Line was really brittle after 100,000 miles and 25 years old. I purchased a
replacement white oil line kit from Sunbeam Specialties years ago and it
had compression fitting on the plastic line not slip on fittings. Don't
laugh, but I used a box of black RITZ (sp ?) Dye and mixed it in a quart fruit
jar of water and placed the line in the dye and dyed the plastic oil line
black. I had both ends of the plastic line sealed and left it in the dye
for several weeks during the winter time and I placed the fruit jar of dye on
the gas furnace near the chimney so every time the furnace came on it
would heat up the dye. I don't know if they sell the same plastic line or not
but the line is still dark black.
