Oil level sensor.

Dave Plowman (News) · 2019-05-21T09:48:22+00:00

Old car has a low oil level sensor, which has never really workedproperly. And spares for it NLA.It has a probe in the sump about 2" long, which merely screws in. Doesn'ttell you the oil level as such - just warns if it gets too low.I've looked for a modern aftermarket set (probe plus electronics) butcan't find anything.I've also no idea on the principle of how it works. Anyone know of anything that could be adapted? Electronics obviously needto be able to work from a car supply.

I'd guess electronics etc have improved in 40 years or so and was hoping for something more modern - and reliable.

Yup - sorry for the brain fart.

Ah. I'd never heard of them before.

No idea at all. Blame it on BT. I do.

This is the post from my log:-

Could well be. On a working one, the warning light flashes for a few seconds before giving a reading. Could be while it heats up.
