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..

I use it with my Engine Monitor.  It triggers an indicator and makes an
audible beep when the oil level is low.  It was VERY easy to hook up.
Yvon is probably right that it is not really needed, but I like it.  In
conjunction with the fact that we won't be burning much oil means that I
won't even have an oil door and won't check the oil level on a typical
pre-flight.  That's nice when you don't feel like getting the hands
dirty on the way to the $50 hamburger.
