Gates 95-96 Buick Park Avenue V-6 3.8L Upper Molded Coolant Hose

This molded coolant hose from Gates is built with EPDM rubber, a material known for its resistance to heat and coolant chemicals. It’s shaped specifically to replace the original upper hose on your 1995-1996 Buick Park Avenue with the 3.8L V-6 engine. Because it’s molded, it follows the exact bends and routing of the factory hose, making installation straightforward and ensuring it won’t kink or rub against other engine components.

Gates hoses are well-built to handle the pressures and temperatures found in your cooling system. This particular hose is designed to fit a range of GM vehicles from the mid-90s, including models like the Buick LeSabre, Oldsmobile 88, and Pontiac Bonneville, all using the 3.8L V-6. Having the correct molded shape means you won’t have to fight with a stiff, universal hose trying to make it fit, which can sometimes lead to leaks or premature failure.

When you’re replacing your coolant hose, it’s a good idea to inspect the lower hose and thermostat housing as well. If they’re showing signs of age, like cracking or swelling, it’s best to replace them at the same time to avoid having to do the job again soon.
