hello there friend
 
a fellow emgineer speaking to you. I  repair and operate petrol driven  
machinery most of the time so have a method of determining my oil levels and  
changes of oil.
 
for oil refills get a piece of thin plastic which is reasonably long and  
send it into the oil tank to the bottom. once done so get some electrical tape  
and make a raised bump at the top where the rod is exposed  at the lid.  then 
with a knife blade make a series of scores into the plastic.
 
again the same if you want with a piece of metal. thin sheet metal should  
do. but this one will use a piece of cork as an adjustable stop. this means you 
 
can place the rod into the tank of choice and adjust the sliding cork which 
will  be a nice tight fit down or up the rod to match the depth from lid lip to 
base  of tank. I have one for my pro machines and a seperate unit for my 
chainsaws  which require chain oil refils on a regular basis
