  • System for measuring the oil level of an oil pan of the crankcase of an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 5019800
    Abstract: The foregoing and additional objects are obtained by the oil measuring system according to the present invention. A first oil level measuring device is in fluid communication with the oil pan and generates a first signal indicative of the oil level within the first measuring device. A second oil level measuring device is also in fluid communication with the oil pan and generates a second signal indication of the oil level with the second measuring device. An imaginary line passes from the second measuring device, through the middle of the oil pan, and to the first measuring device. Also provided is a means for indicating the oil level in the oil pan in response to the first and second signals. Accordingly, the oil level may be checked without using a standard dipstick. Further, the present system is effective regardless of the tilt of the engine.
