I am trying to identify the sensor functions by their locations.  There
are two units in the oil pan one seems to be level and the other
temperature.  There is a smaller unit located near the oil pressure
transducer and the oil filter pad is that water temp?  Any others?
Trying to characterize their electrical properties for a lookup table or
equation using the Picaxe A to D circuit. Thanks for any help.

What year engine Joe? Have you downloaded the shop manuals?

Yes the big sensor inside the shield on the left side of the oilpan is
the level sensor.
The temperature sensor in the oilpan is a switch, used only for very
cold weather starting assistance. No aviation application for that one.
The small sensor near the oil pressure transducer is water temperature.
