I'm sorry, what? First of all, as far as I'm aware oil sensors are typically either capacitative, ultrasonic, or they heat up periodically and check out quick it takes the sensor to cool down to the oil temperature, which is a very accurate way of determining how much of the sensor is covered in oil (specific heat capacity of different oils may differ minutely which would affect the reading).
Anyway, measuring resistance sounds really, really unlikely because oil is by nature a really great dielectric. Can you give me more info on that?
