I need to get my /6 3.0L oil cooler modified with an AN or NTP fitting. Being that my oil tank is NPT - I would think that putting a 1" NPT fitting on the oil cooler is the way to go. But I see some people say they used -16 AN.

Does it really matter what type of fitting to use for this application?

Thanks.

Has anybody ever done a hose-barb fitting instead of a threaded AN? Kind of like what is already on the oil cooler now before the conversion? I'm looking into this as a possibility - it's the way it is on the 911 (and Porsche designed it that way, they know a thing or two) - why spend all that extra money on fancy hose and fittings since it's unpressurized?
