Not sure of your question here. Yes, it has an auto shut down which is very sensitive to the level. Make sure the oil goes up to the mark (threat on filler hole). The engine hour meters rotates through the total run time, Hertz, and voltage. You just have to change the oil on the schedule in the instruction book.

I don't think so. Multimeters are often set up to monitor a process, so auto-shutoff would be a detriment to that.

This does not have an auto option, just have to remember to unplug when engine is not running.

This unit has an automatic shut-off after 2 hours, doesn't matter if you use the temp. control or the power settings. It will not work for long simmered stock unless you are around to keep turning it on. I wanted it for that purpose also. I'm returning it and getting a waring burner that has no auto shut off.

Auto off doesn't kick in until its boiled too long, in my opinion. I usually flip it off before the auto does

I have not used it for oil...did not think it was a big enough unit. So not sure about the timer as I always use it...sorry.

My model (looks the same) only has an on/off switch. It would keep running even if all the oil was gone. VC

Hello, J. Waldvogel! Could you recommend a better one for an average shade tree mechanic like me? I also need it to read the older OBD-I connector vehicles too. I have an old 1994 Chevy diesel truck that is showing a "Service Engine Soon" light. I would like to be able to connect to it and fix the problem. Thanks in advance! Lee

the instructions included on the back of the item states it wii auto shut off at 104 if left there for more than 1 hr. i would say u can go below that if yor using the item. hope this helps.

I use auto. Might as well let it figure when it needs power. No sense leaving it on 24/7.

I am using a electric ceramic oil burner, takes about 10 drops of oil and lasts a few hours on low.

I haven't tried it. It shouldn't start, it would defeat it's purpose. I don't think it will start if it is low on oil.
