Detailed Description

Standard Ignition FLS161 is engineered as an OE-style engine oil level sensor replacement for a range of Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler vehicles. It is designed to replace a damaged or failing sensor and restore the oil level warning function that communicates low oil conditions to the instrument cluster or onboard computer. This part number, FLS161, is built with reliable internal switching components and a durable connector interface to support consistent readings over time. This part cross-references 5S3017 and 74845 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Oil level warning light or message that stays on
• Inaccurate oil level readings at the dash or computer
• Intermittent sensor signal caused by worn internal contacts
• Electrical connection issues at the sensor plug
• Failure of the original oil level sensor housing from age or heat exposure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. FLS161 uses a plug-in female connector with 3 male pin terminals, so the harness should match the original sensor connection. Confirm the oil level warning concern is sensor-related before replacing related components. For Mercedes-Benz CL600, SL600, G55 AMG, and related models, compare the original part number and connector layout to ensure proper fitment.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition builds this fluid level sensor with durable materials and reliable electrical connectors to support long service life under demanding conditions. The internal switch mechanism is intended to provide accurate low-oil-level reporting after installation.
