VL53 series measurements varies across liquids (oils/sauces)

Hi,

 

I'm trying out the VL53 series to try to measure the height of liquids in a container. In my use case, we are measuring sauce in sauce cups - ranch dressing, hot sauce, etc. One issue we have noticed is that with oil or oily sauces such as olive oil. The sensor is not responding with the correct depth measurement. The sauce can be 4-6 inches from the sensor.

 

Looking at the documentation, there could be some cross talk issue, however we don't what sauce will be used. (The user can provide different sauces) - Do you have recommendations on how to get better results with this sensor?
