Joe,
The I/C's I mentioned earlier are still on ebay, P/N ULN2429A, ebay item
no. 7545438956, or search on "fluid level sensors".  You can get a lot
of 25 for $5.50 + s+h.  I have no idea if these will work in oil, but
the price is right and you should be able to retro fit it without
removing the pan.

It looks to be a float type sensor, Joe.  That is, the trickle of
oil
will actually make it alarm sooner, not later.

I didn't read anything about a float.  I do see a red thing at the top
of the probe that could be a float, I guess. I was assuming this was a
little more sophisticated...I.e. a capacitance probe.
