What Is the Engine Oil Level Sensor and How Does It Work?
The engine oil level sensor monitors the amount of oil in your vehicle’s engine and sends this information to the dashboard to alert you if the oil level is low. Proper oil levels are critical for engine lubrication, performance, and longevity.
