The Mercury 8M0142265 Oil Level Status Kit adds that missing link. It gives SmartCraft gauges and VesselView displays the ability to read and show real-time oil level information on engines that weren’t originally equipped with this capability. It’s a simple add-on that makes day-to-day ownership easier and takes the guesswork out of routine checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"592\" data-end=\"595\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"597\" data-end=\"613\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"597\" data-end=\"613\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"617\" data-end=\"733\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"617\" data-end=\"647\"\u003eSmartCraft Oil Reporting –\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds live oil-level status to compatible SmartCraft gauges and VesselView displays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"736\" data-end=\"855\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"736\" data-end=\"760\"\u003eUpgrade Capability –\u003c\/strong\u003e Optional kit for 3.4L V6 and 4.8L V8 engines that don’t include oil status from the factory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"858\" data-end=\"966\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"858\" data-end=\"882\"\u003eStandard on AMS V8 –\u003c\/strong\u003e The 4.6L V8 Verado AMS already includes this feature, so the kit is not required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"969\" data-end=\"1063\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"969\" data-end=\"1001\"\u003eIntegrated System Feedback –\u003c\/strong\u003e Lets the driver monitor oil level without opening the cowl.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1172\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1093\"\u003eClean OEM Integration –\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects directly into the SmartCraft network for accurate, stable readings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1258\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1192\"\u003eEase of Use –\u003c\/strong\u003e Makes oil checks simple by displaying status right at the helm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1260\" data-end=\"1263\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1286\" data-end=\"1313\"\u003e3.4L V6 Mercury outboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1316\" data-end=\"1343\"\u003e4.8L V8 Mercury outboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1346\" data-end=\"1412\"\u003e4.6L V8 Verado AMS (\u003cem data-start=\"1366\" data-end=\"1409\"\u003efeature already built in—kit not required\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1434\"\u003eSmartCraft gauges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1437\" data-end=\"1458\"\u003eVesselView displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1460\" data-end=\"1463\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1465\" data-end=\"1501\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1465\" data-end=\"1501\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1965\"\u003eWith this kit installed, the engine shares its oil level status directly with the helm. You can see your oil level at a glance, whether you’re running a VesselView screen or a SmartCraft gauge cluster. It reduces the need to open the cowl for routine checks and helps you stay ahead of low-oil situations before they interrupt a day on the water. The integration is clean, the readings are steady, and the convenience makes regular maintenance feel a lot easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1967\" data-end=\"1970\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1972\" data-end=\"1987\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1972\" data-end=\"1987\"\u003eWhy Buy OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1989\" data-end=\"2364\"\u003eOil-level reporting needs reliable communication with the SmartCraft system, and the OEM kit uses the exact logic and connectors Mercury designed for these engines.

The factory kit installs correctly, lasts longer, and ensures the data shown on your display is accurate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2366\" data-end=\"2369\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2378\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2378\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2380\" data-end=\"2570\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2380\" data-end=\"2412\"\u003eQ1: When do I need this kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2412\" data-end=\"2415\"\u003eWhen your 3.4L V6 or 4.8L V8 engine doesn’t have built-in oil-level reporting but you want that information to appear on SmartCraft or VesselView displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2572\" data-end=\"2708\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2572\" data-end=\"2625\"\u003eQ2: Is this needed on Verado AMS 4.6L V8 engines?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2625\" data-end=\"2628\"\u003eNo. Those engines already include the oil-level status feature from the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2710\" data-end=\"2817\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2710\" data-end=\"2752\"\u003eQ3: Does this change engine operation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2752\" data-end=\"2755\"\u003eNo. It only adds the ability to display oil-level information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2819\" data-end=\"2932\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2819\" data-end=\"2874\"\u003eQ4: Where will the oil level appear once installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2874\" data-end=\"2877\"\u003eOn supported SmartCraft gauges and VesselView displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2934\" data-end=\"3072\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2934\" data-end=\"2968\"\u003eQ5: Is installation difficult?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2968\" data-end=\"2971\"\u003eMost setups are straightforward—plug into the SmartCraft harness and configure the display if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46935203676451,"sku":"8M0142265","price":249.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/7410\/9475\/files\/PV721191.jpg?v=1720534394","url":"https:\/\/partsvu.com\/en-ca\/products\/mercury-sensor-oil-level-8m0142265","provider":"PartsVu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
