ABSTRACT:
A device for detecting low engine oil levels includes a mechanism for detecting the presence of oil in an oil containment vessel for an engine. A housing is disposed in the containment vessel for enclosing the detection mechanism. A chamber is disposed in the housing and is adapted to permit the free flow of oil therethrough for contact with the detection mechanism according to the level of oil in the containment vessel. The chamber further prevents surging of oil therethrough resulting from movement of the vehicle carrying the engine as well as intermittent splashing of the oil on the detection mechanism resulting from operation of the engine.
