Message	Silicone isn't affected by oils. Lots of materials (rubber, latex, vinlyl, etc) will be broken down by oil, but not pure silicone. Silicone is VERY molecularly stable and unless it's manufactured as a blend of silicone + one of the above materials, it will pretty much never rot. Z1 even makes a complete line of silicone hoses, including oil cooler lines, power steering, turbo oil lines, and PCV lines, all of which are in regular contact with oil. I have the PCV lines and they're just like the day I installed them.
