Had a turbo feed line blow out on a 6.7 Powerstroke yesterday

I was doing a routine oil change on a 2015 F-250 in the shop when I heard a loud hiss and saw oil spraying. The braided line from the block to the turbo had a pinhole failure right at the fitting. Truck had about 140k miles on it. I had to shut it down fast and spent the next three hours cleaning oil off everything and replacing the line. Has anyone else seen these factory lines fail around that mileage, or was this just a fluke?

Ngl, that sound and the mess is the worst. Honestly, I had a coolant hose on my old Duramax let go in a Walmart parking lot, not oil but the same kind of braided line failure. It was this huge puddle of green stuff and steam everywhere, people were staring. Took me forever to clean up and get a tow.

Honestly that's a classic failure point on those trucks. Tbh I've seen a few of those factory braided lines let go right at the crimp around that mileage. Was it the high pressure oil feed line or the turbo oil drain tube? The feed line is way worse for making a mess. Did you end up going with an OEM replacement or try one of those aftermarket upgraded lines?
