It actually worked very well; it was based upon the electronic ferrous metal detection system commonly used on a variety of combat aircraft. A small sensor replaced the oil drain plug and had wires that ran up to an alarm module inside the car; when the ferrous metal content of the oil got too high, it set off a warning. . Its biggest shortcoming was the wires as the sensor was exposed to a very vulnerable spot and the wiring took a beating.
