Replacing Oil Pressure Sensor (Oil Sending Unit)

Pretty sure my Oil Pressure Sensor is in need of replacement. Simple question, I hope - do I need to use any sort of teflon tape, locktite, etc. when replacing this part?

I'm with the above. I do use a small amount of Teflon tape on the threads. I think its good practice to do so.

Thanks all. I had some Loctite Blue 242 that I used, just a small dab.
Nice to have a working oil pressure sensor again.
