My question is about the oil level sensor. Is anybody using it and if it
is useful. If not I would like to remove it and use the port to return the
drain back oil from the PSRU

I think the PSRU oil should go in above the normal oil level in the pan.

Allo Bulent Aliev, I used the oil level sensor circuit for several years.
It would illuminate a red light when the main electrical switch was on
with the engine at rest. I mean stopped. It never iluminated the red
light with the engine running, even at low idle speed.. I believe that
Mazda provided that oil level sensor circuit for those who used the
oil metering pump with a well worn out engine burning more oil than
a normal usage. I believe it is not necessary for our use where we
visually check the oil level so very often. Yvon Cournoyer..


Thanks Yvon. In this case I can take it off, and there is another pound of
the engine to offset a pound under my belt :).
