Getting ready to change my coolant temperature sensor, and noticed that it has straight threads on it. I'm wondering if there's a gasket or o-ring (chamfered shoulder would indicate so), or whether or not I need to apply some sort of thread sealant.

I'm assuming some coolant will come out when I remove the old sensor, and that I'll want to install the new one fairly quickly to minimize the amount of coolant lost.

Thanks, just want to cover all the bases before I remove the old one.
