0103 327 Compatible Oil Pan Sensor for Volvo Trucks

What does an oil pan sensor do?

An oil pan sensor is an electronic measuring component mounted on the oil pan at the bottom of heavy commercial vehicle engines that measures engine oil level, temperature, or in some applications pressure inside the pan. It sends this data to the engine control unit (ECU), which alerts the driver through a warning light or dashboard message if oil level drops below a critical point or oil temperature rises excessively.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This sensor is compatible with various heavy-duty engines, including Volvo D13, D11, and D16 series, as well as Renault Trucks DTI13 and DXi13 engines. It is also fitted to Mack Anthem, Granite, and Pinnacle models with MP7 and MP8 engines. This component is essential for maintaining the integrity of the lubrication system in demanding environments.

Installation and maintenance

For workshop technicians, it is vital to ensure correct connector compatibility and mounting during installation. When replacing the sensor, always inspect the surrounding area for any signs of leaks or debris that could interfere with a proper seal. Verifying the specific engine code ensures a precise fit for the vehicle's electronic monitoring system.

Troubleshooting guidance

Consult your authorized distributor to confirm exact fitment for your specific engine configuration.
