You don't need to change out the sensor, but you will get a low oil warning off and on, reading on the dash.
Was the warning intermittent? Unfortunate the sensor can be problematic without a physical dipstick to confirm or dismiss the alert being legit.

On an unrelated note, I was floored to see our '19 GLC had one. Wonder why?
