I'm running the oil lines for my dry sump and am going to have some square-ish openings to feed the lines through. Does anyone have a recommendation on what to use to protect the hose and the body? I'm envisioning a U shaped roll of material that would be close to that of a rubber grommet in feel.

I have successfully used this door edge guard for irregular holes:

They sell it at Autozone too.

McMaster Carr has an assortment of materials and shapes.

Two more.

The last time I got some I got it either from Summit, Pegasus or Racer Wholesale Parts... can't remember which.

Good hunting.

I used fuel line.....slit down one side & work it into position. Add some 3M super weatherstrip adhesive if you feel like you need it, but my experience is that it stays in place excellently if cut to the right length to wedge into the opening. Yeah, yeah, I'm a redneck CSOB, but it works!
