    Excellent point.... Wonder if the oil/water mayonnaise will coat the sensor and not show low oil.....

    Cost savings.... 1 dipstick.... $100.00

    Cost replacement.... 1 engine.... $7000.00 +:cryin:

    So what's leaking? Coolant or oil?

    hahahahaha

    If they only had a simple dip stick they could have seen the milky oil mixing with coolant or that they were leaking or low on oil.
