DGB Products comes the Fame oil level control system to remove the inconvenience of the dipstick while assuring that the engine oil level remains automatically and constantly at the manufacturer's optimum level.
For heavy commercial vehicles the system consists of a large transparent reservoir, either cab or body mounted, which feeds oil by gravity to a special float chamber mounted precisely at the correct sump level.
The float chamber automatically meters the oil and supplies it to the sump at the same rate that it is used, ensuring a constant oil level and consistent oil quality.
For light commercials and cars there is a transparent reservoir fitted in the engine compartment and a replacement dipstick sensor which automatically reads and cor rects the oil level via the existing dipstick tube. As the oil level falls, the base of the hollow frame dipstic sensor is uncovered. This allows slightly pressurised air from the crankcase to pass through the system to the airtight reservoir, which in turn sends immediate oil replenishment back to the sump until the tip of the dipstick sensor is again immersed in oil.
This reservoir includes an electric level indicator for connection to the host vehicle's existing panel warning light. DGB Products Turbo 111
