Using a larger hose will give you a little more pressure for given flow at the business end of the hydraulics and means you'll have a tad more oil to add. (The reason is that the pressure loss is proportional to the flow velocity squared and the velocity at a given gpm ~ 1/Area so increasing the area reduces the velocity which reduces the pressure loss.) You'll loose a little of that pressure if you have to go back through a smaller area fitting.
