A compact oil level gauge uses a columnar portion and guide hole to attach directly to the engine casing.
A dip stick assembly uses a resiliently biased wiper to clean the measurement surface upon removal from its housing.
Segmented guide tubes vent trapped air through a higher branch portion, preventing gas-oil mixing that deteriorates detection accuracy.
A stirring rod with segmented end surfaces determines fluid levels and viscosity directly within opaque containers.
A float ring and tiller arm transmit fluid level changes to an external gauge shaft.
