Thermal adjusted hydraulic fluid gage

A hydraulic fluid gage for measuring hydraulic fluid in a hydraulic tank of a work vehicle configured to indicate a desired volume of hydraulic fluid, the hydraulic fluid gage comprising:

• a body configured to receive the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic tank;
• a first fluid connection coupled between the body and the hydraulic tank to communicate hydraulic fluid therebetween such that a level of the hydraulic fluid in the body indicates a volume of the hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic tank;
• a thermometer for indicating a temperature of the hydraulic fluid by a level of an indicative fluid included by the thermometer;
• and
• a range indicator comprising a plurality of ranges of temperature, the ranges of temperature aligning vertically relative to one another, the thermometer positioned relative to the range indicator such that the temperature indicated by the level of the indicative fluid of the thermometer corresponds to one of the ranges of temperature, each of the ranges of temperature corresponding to a recommended range of the hydraulic fluid volume in the hydraulic tank wherein when the level of indicative fluid corresponds to one of the ranges of temperature of the range indicator and the level of the hydraulic fluid is within the one of the ranges of temperature of the range indicator, the hydraulic fluid volume is within the one of the recommended ranges, and when the level of indicative fluid corresponds to one of the ranges of temperature of the range indicator and the level of the hydraulic fluid is outside the one of the ranges of temperature of the range indicator, the hydraulic fluid volume is outside the one of the recommended ranges.
