Oil Level Sensor - electronic engine oil level sensor mounted in the wall of the sump, forming part of the engine lubrication monitoring circuit.

It measures the depth of oil standing in the pan and reports it to the engine control module, which drives the oil level readout and the low oil level warning in the instrument cluster. On engines equipped with this sensor the electronic reading takes the place of a conventional dipstick, so a failed or sludge-fouled sensor typically presents as an implausible level reading or a persistent oil level warning rather than as an actual lubrication fault.

The sensor seals against the sump face; make sure the sealing surface is clean before fitting. The vehicle must be standing level and the engine shut down long enough for the oil to drain back before a reading is taken.

Frequently asked questions

What does the oil level sensor do?
The oil level sensor is an electronic sensor mounted in the sump wall that measures the depth of oil in the pan and reports it to the engine control module. The module drives the oil level readout and low-oil warning. It is part of the engine lubrication monitoring circuit.
Where is the oil level sensor fitted?
The oil level sensor is fitted in the sump (oil pan), so reaching it usually means accessing the base of the engine from underneath. It is used across petrol and diesel engines in models like the Discovery 4 and 5, Range Rover L322 and L405, and Range Rover Sport.
What are the signs of a faulty oil level sensor?
Signs include an inaccurate or missing oil level reading, a persistent oil level warning, or a related fault code even when the oil is correct. The sensor can fail electrically or foul over time. It is an OEM Hella unit; confirm the fault before replacing.
