Further, when the engine oil amount is inspected, it is often just after traveling, and the vibration of the vehicle causes the level of the engine oil o filled in the oil pan to sway and move up and down. The engine oil o rises from the oil pan to the upper part inside the guide pipe p, and the engine oil o is also adhered in the form of an oil film on the upper inner wall surface of the guide pipe p.

Further, as a recent tendency, in order to reduce the weight of a vehicle, the engine room of an automobile has a space required for accommodating an engine and other mechanical devices reduced to a necessary minimum. Since it is equipped with various auxiliary equipment such as machine parts, the inside of the engine room has become complicated.

As a result, when the guide pipe p is attached to the cylinder block and the oil pan, the guide pipe p cannot be installed vertically, and the guide pipe p attached to the cylinder block has a large inclination with respect to the vertical direction. The engine, in which the guide pipe p becomes almost horizontal, also exists, and the inclination of the oil level gauge inserted into the guide pipe p having such a low inclination is inevitably low.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the position at which the oil level gauge inserted by inclination is immersed in the engine oil o is also in an inclined state, and the introduction body b has a plate thickness.
The position where the engine oil o adheres is different between the front surface side and the rear surface side of the introduction body b. For example, at the L level, the position where the lower surface is immersed at the time of insertion does not originally require replenishment of the engine oil o. On the upper surface at the time of inserting the measuring portion a, there may be a case of a last minute caution state that substantially coincides with the L line d ', and the judgment becomes different depending on the front and back of the oil level gauge being inserted, and the measuring portion a is not provided. It has the drawbacks that it is necessary to check and compare the states of both sides including the bottom side, and it is difficult to check the necessity of replenishment and the amount of replenishment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the problem that it takes time to check the upper and lower limits of replenishment, replacement timing, replenishment amount, and filling amount based on the above-mentioned prior art. The upper and lower limits are confirmed by comparing the irregularities on the front and back with the engine oil that has adhered by providing the irregularities corresponding to the front and back, that is, the mesh portion engraved in the conventional cross hatching pattern. Compared with the above, it is possible to confirm on both sides of the introduction plate body, and further an oil pool is generated in the concave portion to improve the confirmability.

Further, based on the above-mentioned conventional technique, it is difficult to confirm the upper and lower limits depending on the pulled-out state of the oil level gauge, a confirmation error occurs depending on the mounting state of the guide pipe, and some oil level gauges have poor strength. In view of the problem of decreasing, the convex portion prevents the oil from adhering to the entire guide plate body by the convex portion contacting the inner wall surface of the guide pipe to improve the confirmation, and the convex portion serves as a reinforcing rib. Even if there is a difference in both sides due to the fact that the strength is improved or both sides are confirmation surfaces, the above problems can be solved by making it possible to confirm the respective states and facilitate the comparison on both sides.

When the oil level gauge 1 is pulled out, the protrusions 10 and 10a on the back surface 9 are the inner wall surfaces of the guide pipe 11.
If the oil level gauge 1 is inserted into the guide pipe 11 so as to come into contact with the guide pipe 11, the entire front surface 7 and back surface 9 of the introduction plate body 4 do not come into contact with the inner wall surface 12 when the oil level gauge 1 is pulled out. By pulling out the oil level gauge 1 from the guide pipe 11, the engine oil transferred from the inner wall surface 12 does not adhere to the recesses 8 and 8a of the front surface 7 and the back surface 9, and only the engine oil to be measured is the oil level gauge. In the state where the oil adheres to No. 1, the engine oil, which is a erroneous recognition element, does not adhere, and the confirmation can be improved.

Further, since the protrusions and recesses of the concavo-convex portions 6 and 6a are formed in the same direction, they are in the same direction at the time of embossing for forming the concavo-convex portions 6 and 6a on the introduction plate body 4, improving workability, and further improving the guide pipe. In the state of being inserted into 11 and when being pulled out, the oil transfer and adhesion from the inner wall surface 12 to the introduction plate body 4 can be suppressed over the entire length, which is a great practical effect.
