ABSTRACT:
An oil gauge accessory for automotive vehicles and the like having a float switch disposed in a casing adapted to be mounted for vertical adjustment alongside the crankcase oil pan and to be connected by suitable tubing at the bottom thereof to the drain opening of the oil pan so that crankcase oil and the float switch rises in the casing to the same level as in the oil pan. Signal means such as different colored lights and a normally open manually operable switch in-circuit with the float switch and a suitable power source, are mounted so as to be visible to and operable by the driver of the vehicle. The casing is adjustable so that when the manual switch is closed, the float switch energizes either one of the signal means which indicates a proper level of oil in the crankcase or the other signal means which indicates that the oil level in the crankcase is low and needs to be replenished.
