Original hose? I'd not put an 8 year old hose back in place. Too many
possibilities of things going wrong when you least expect it. Hoses and
belts should be changed out about that time no matter how many miles. They
become brittle with time. . A radiator shop that does my oil changes never
uses the drain petcock, always replaces the bottom hose.
