If the factory put one in...then you have already paid for it...and they made provisions for it fitting into some space...
After the fact working is very different...
And inside the pan is a very harsh working environment.... for something you really want to be able to count on...
Just realized I was assuming too much.

My 2nd gen w126 came from the factory with an oil level sending unit built right into the oil pan, and an orange light beside the "low coolant" light for "low oil" - I forgot that w123 and first gen w126 might not have it.
