MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641019657 A) filed by Nandha Engineering College, Erode, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 20, for 'engine oil level monitoring and alert system for two wheelers.'
Inventor(s) include S Kavitha; M Dhanalakshmi; S Dharshana; and B Mohanaprasath.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An engine oil level monitoring system for two-wheelers is proposed to provide real-time and automated measurement of oil level using Internet of Things (JoT) technology. The system is designed to replace conventional dipstick-based inspection, which is often neglected by users and may lead to serious engine damage due to low lubrication. By introducing continuous monitoring, the invention improves vehicle safety and maintenance efficiency. The system consists of a waterproof ultrasonic sensor mounted at the bottom of the engine sump, an ESP32 microcontroller, and a wireless communication unit. The ultrasonic sensor measures the distance to the oil surface using time-of-flight princ.:iplt: and sends the distance data to the microcontroller. The ESP32 processes the received data and converts it into oil level percentage based on predefined tank height values, enabling accurate and reliable oil level estimation. The processed oil level information is transmitted wirelessly usmg the built-in Wi-Fi capability of the ESP32 and displayed on a mobile-accessible webpage. This allows users to monitor oil condition anytime without physical inspection. The invention provides a low-cost, reliable, and user-friendly solution that supports preventive maintenance, reduces engine failure risks, and is suitable for future smart vehicle health monitoring systems."
