Default Oil Level Sensor

Hi Guys, I got 27C3 Thermal oil-level sensor = P1128 error code, so I believe the oil level sensor is out as I did not got any warning and on oil drain got only 4L out of my 6.5L capacity M54.

Now, while attempting to replace the oil level sensor, should I also replace the oil pressure switch + Oil temprature sensor? Do these two sensors go bad?

The temp sensor/pressure switch rarely goes bad but for $10-$30 why not. It is really up to you. Being that thy have not failed you do not need to change them.

Oil temperature sensor is integrated into the oil level sensor on the m54.

I failed to read the oil part of the phrase. I gave the temp sensor in the DME.
