Why is oil tank sight gauge not working?

An oil tank sight gauge may not be working due to several reasons, including blockages from sludge or sediment buildup, a broken or malfunctioning gauge mechanism, or improper installation. Additionally, temperature fluctuations can cause the oil to expand or contract, affecting the accuracy of the reading. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help ensure proper functionality. If the problem persists, consulting a professional may be necessary to diagnose and repair the issue.
