This low oil level alert switch sensor is designed for owners of equipment powered by Honda GX160 engines, such as plate compactors, who need a reliable replacement part to monitor engine lubrication levels. It serves as an essential safety component to prevent engine seizure by automatically alerting the system when oil levels drop dangerously low; however, as a non-genuine aftermarket part, it is critical to verify the physical dimensions against your existing sensor before installation.

No, this is a non-genuine aftermarket replacement part produced by PetrolScooter.
It is designed for common GX160 configurations, but you must verify the 40 mm length and mounting hole size against your specific engine version.
Incorrect installation may lead to the engine failing to start or the safety alert system not triggering when oil is low.
The sensor is specified for the GX160; compatibility with other models is not guaranteed and requires manual verification of dimensions.
It is recommended to inspect the sensor for functionality or signs of wear during every major engine oil change.
The sensor may be stuck in the 'low' position due to debris; remove and clean the sensor probe or check if the float is moving freely.
Verify that the mounting bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification and check that the fixing hole diameter matches the 6.44 mm requirement.
Before installation, ensure the engine is completely cool and the fuel line is shut off. Carefully compare the 40 mm x 22.45 mm x 12.65 mm dimensions of this sensor with your original unit, as slight variations may exist in different engine production batches. To install, remove the side casing or access panel of the Honda GX160 engine, unscrew the original sensor, and replace it with this unit, ensuring the 6.44 mm mounting holes align perfectly. During cleaning, avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the sensor's housing or seal; a dry cloth or compressed air is usually sufficient to remove dust and debris.
