del,

Thats what they are telling me. As I said, I have always poured some fluid through the new hose prior to installation but, I am now told, that is not sufficient.

Could this also be another way to refuse warranty failure??? With the spectrum analysis of oil, could the manufacture be looking closer than in the past for liability???
I do believe in cleaning before using, but some of these hoses are quick fix in the field. Now you want me to carry another jug of xyz near the tool box!
