Yes, but taking your argument you should use abacus
instead of your computer to do all the calculations ;-)

I generally agree with you that fancy electronics add
components to the system, and in consequence we have
more components, and bigger probability for a system
failure due to the single component failure...

But in the case of the low fluid warning lamps it is no
issue, because if the warning system fails you will not
have anything worse than a system without warning system.
So if you have to choose a system with no warning light
and a system with a warning light which might get wrong
some day I would take the "risk" of having this convenience.

To be honest I am going to find this sender unit on some
Canadian autoparts site and outfit it in my USA version :-)
I hope necessary harness is there to give the signal to
the light on the dashboard... If successful I promisse
to come back here and describe this mod for anybody
wanting to do the same.
