If the line comes loose on your oil lines to coolers, you'll lose oil too, under pressure.
If you use an industrial oil and temperature rated hose, with a properly installed hose fitting, it's not going to come loose. It's under no pressure, just heat and vibration.
Most new generators are equipped with an oil drain hose and there is no shut off.
My drain hose has been on the Lehman for 20 years. It has not fallen off during that time.
