Vitesco 12-61-5-A74-0A3 Engine Oil Level Sensor

The Vitesco 12-61-5-A74-0A3 is an OEM-quality engine oil level sensor designed to accurately monitor engine oil level and temperature. Vitesco Technologies, formerly the powertrain division of Continental AG, supplies this sensor as a direct-fit replacement meeting original equipment specifications.

The oil level sensor is mounted in the engine oil pan and uses capacitive or resistive sensing technology to continuously report oil level status to the engine control module (ECM). When oil falls below the minimum threshold, the sensor triggers a low oil warning on the instrument cluster, helping prevent engine damage from oil starvation.

Key Features:

• OEM manufacturer-grade quality from Vitesco Technologies (formerly Continental Powertrain)
• Direct-fit replacement — no modification required
• Provides accurate oil level and oil temperature readings to the ECM
• Manufactured to original equipment specifications for precise fit and function
• Corrosion-resistant construction for long service life in the engine oil environment
• Helps protect the engine by triggering low oil level warnings

This sensor is also referenced by the consolidated part number 12615A740A3. It is a plug-and-play replacement that restores proper oil level monitoring and eliminates false warning lights caused by a failed or degraded sensor.
