This invention relates to a novel engine oil system which automatically or manually replenishes oil in the crankcase from an onboard oil reservoir system. An oil level indicator and oil refill device comprising: (a) a source of electrical power; (b) an engine crankcase; (c) an oil level float in the crankcase; (d) a first electrical contact point associated with the oil level float; (e) a second electrical contact point located at a predetermined level in the crankcase; (f) an oil reservoir; and (g) an electrical solenoid valve connected to the source of electrical power and the oil reservoir and normally in a closed position, the solenoid valve being activated when the first electrical contact point contacts the second electrical contact point and opening the solenoid valve and permitting oil to drain from the oil reservoir to the crankcase, said solenoid valve closing when the first electrical contact point rises with oil level and ceases to contact the second electrical contact point.
