You have the correct parts. Just use teflon thread tape...correctly...and you will be fine!

Use a torque wrench. Too tight can strip the threads.

I had a similar setup and glad I got rid of it. Draining the oil and having to remove the wiring harness from the sensor was tedious. I could see the harness clip eventually breaking off in the long run due to fatigue.

I ended using a sharp pick to lift the clip and pull it out. The harness is built pretty well and wasn't intended to unclip/reclip.

One way to get around this is to use those quick drain valves; therefore you can leave the sensor in place while draining. Just an idea...
