There is disclosed a short and straight oil level gauge adapted for use with an automative automatic transmission. The gauge is inserted in an oil filler tube which is also short and straight. The tube has a flexible clamping member. The gauge has a rodlike body having two ribs, a cover at the upper end of the rodlike body, a plug portion located under the cover, a tool-connecting portion located above the cover, and insertion guide surfaces formed on the body and connecting the plug portion with the body. The tool-connecting portion is shaped like a socket, and a conventional socket wrench can be inserted into this tool-connecting portion. The insertion guide surfaces are formed by two ribs or fins radially extending from the rodlike body in mutually perpendicular directions. The guide surfaces cooperate with the inner surface of the tube to assure that the clamping member of the tube engages the cover.
