The Earls (Blue-Red color) fitting sold at shop area sunway. You can search it from mudah.my.
But I use industrial clamp and fitting for my oil cooler hose. You can visit any hydraulic shop and ask them.

Gas Cooker hose can withstand oil?
can kua cos its quite thick, usually used to connect oil catch tank.
I wouldn't use gas hose. It can take the pressure but it's relatively stiff. Those clamps will not be able to clamp down to a tight seal that can survive the pressure. I've tried using before and ATF leaked out from the clamps. Worst case scenario for me the clamped section popped out right because too much pressure.

It very bad to use those gas or hose clamp.
It has happend to me. To save cost, I use those type of clamp for oil cooler hose. After use for a few days, the hose connection burst and sprayed engine oil all arround engine bay.
Then after that straight away use proper hose fitting. Moral of the story, always use proper tools.

Use gas hose for Oil cooler?? A typical Malaysian style "tidak apa" attitude! Gas hose is designed for gas and oil hose is designed for oil. The hose must withstand high temperature of oil such as ATF which can exceed 200 degrees Fahrenheit & pressure. DO NOT take things lightly especially if you're modifying a car. It may cost your life and others.

Don't do it when u are not tracking.

as stupidcar mentioned... otherwise u risk running the engine oil too cold... yes there is such a thing as too cold... and too cold it can damage ur engine.

but if u insist on getting one...get one that has a thermostat... the cheapest is AVS at about RM1k brand new... the rest like JASMA and Works all no thermostat.

other brands with thermostat are expensive... expect RM8xx and above for used kedai potong condition ones.
