Abstract
An oil level sensor comprises a body having a probe extending away from a nominal body portion. The probe receives a resistance thermal device and extends for a height away from the nominal surface. The probe has an outer dimension. The ratio of the outer dimension to the height is between 0.1 and 0.2. The RTD is connected to lead wires through splices, the lead wires leaving the nominal housing. A fastener tab extends away from the nominal body, and generally perpendicularly to the probe. The lead wires are anchored within a chamber, which is filled with a potting material.
