The same thing is being accomplished by monitoring/using oil pressure. It becomes a matter of using a reliable point in the motor/oil path that will give the best "true" pressure reading. Regarding an oil level sensor or using the dip stick:Let's add in the possibility that people are running the truck in a level stance. Physically the oil level could change due to the reference point in the pan. The leveled stance gives a "false positive" that the oil level may be over/under the recommend point on the dip stick. SO that would lead to people over/under filling the oil just cause of the physical indication on the dip stick.This was a VERY common "owner issue" with Super Duty trucks running leveled or just a bit nose high for both the coolant levels and the oil levels.
