1. A wireless oil filter sensing system, comprising:

  • an oil filter; and

    a sensing mechanism that is connectable to said oil filter, wherein said sensing mechanism comprises at least one acoustic wave sensing element and at least one antenna that communicates with said at least one acoustic wave sensing element, wherein when said at least one acoustic wave sensing element is in contact with oil contained in said oil filter, said at least one acoustic wave sensing element detects acoustic waves associated with said oil in response to an excitation of said at least one acoustic wave sensing element, thereby generating data indicative of a quality of said oil for wireless transmission through said at least one antenna.
