Abstract
A sensor assembly for determining the level of oil in a filter pan may include a load cell for sensing the amount of oil in the filter pan. The filter pan may be pivotable about a first end of the filter pan within a frame. The assembly may also include a lever pivotable about a fulcrum. A first end of the lever may support a second end of the filter pan. A second end of the lever may press against the load cell based upon downward pressure from the filter pan against the first end of the lever.
