In my experience, no. Will get the job done for awhile but deteriorate pretty quickly.
Correct hose / fitting isn't all that expensive. Changed out a few on my daughters 99 taurus a couple weeks ago. Well, maybe $15-$25 is a little high for the correct part but at least I don't have to worry about pre=mature failure.

Tygon tubing is oil resistant and probably more appropriate for your application. Butyl and other rubbers ARE oil resistant

Fast Eddy 04 thanks for the correction. I forgot Tygon was a manufacturer and not the product itself.
