Default 5/16 or 3/8 oil line?

What is everbodys opinion on the oil line size? I took all of the old lines off and was getting ready to replace them with 5/16 hose. Some guy out and says "never run any oil line smaller than 3/8 on any Harley". So's I gotta ask you characters in the know. Oh, 92' Dyna by the way.

Yeah, I was just hoping 5/16 would work since I had about 10 feet in a drawer. I got me some 300# rated 3/8 line and I am going to use that. This stuff don't kink at the bends. Now I gotta get some bigger hose clamps.

I did mine with Russell stainless braided 6AN (3/8") lines. A biatch to work with, but some tough stuff.
