[QUOTE="Raggles, post: 585189, member: 20996"] I assume that in the sump it will always have a constant coat of oil on the sensor, so will be accurate as far as consistency of reading is concerned? presumably you could test the sensor in water if you wanted to know the calibration factor? I suppose my question on the 'save my bug' sensor .... which seems a great idea if you find the constant changing temp of the dial a worry (which I suspect I might) .... is that presumably it has to be pretty accurate - as it is a warning rather than a constant monitor? Is there any way to check and adjust calibration to ensure that nothing fries before the warning cuts in? Once accurately set, presumably you just have to be rigorous when checking the oil level to ensure it is correctly seated etc? [/QUOTE]
