Functionality oil level sensor
The oil level sensor helps ensure that the engine is always adequately supplied with oil. The sensor is usually located in the oil sump or oil reservoir and continuously sends information about the oil level to the control unit. When the oil level drops below a certain level, a warning is displayed to alert the driver that the oil level is low.
An oil level that is too low can cause engine damage. It is therefore important to check the oil level regularly and top up oil when necessary to ensure optimum operation and long engine life. The oil level sensor thus contributes to the maintenance and safety of the vehicle.
