1998 Chevy Tahoe V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I change both oil cooling hoses in my vortec 5.7lt 350, Could you help me with: The oil cooling hose in the upper inlet in radiator goes to: A) the upper inlet in the oil filter or B) the lower inlet in the oil filter? Appreciate your help, Regards Miguel.

In the center of the photo yo see the upper and lower inlet at the oil filter base.

If you are just changing one do not waste your time. The other one is going to fail soon. Just take one out at a time and match them up. The upper radiator oil hose is longer than the lower one.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean "starting to sweat"? Did you sucessfully replace these lines?
