I know most of you guys plug a sensor in the gearbox but I have one of these which simply bolts on:

Looks good, the temp wont change greatly as it goes round the system. |

Can't remember the exact science but as the pressure in a liquid changes so does the temperature ( how a fridge works).Your at max pressure point as opposed to the sump at no pressure.MPi sensor is in the block.Which is the most relivent ,block or sump temp? |

though it was the friction of pumping that made heat not the actual pressure?

At the end of the day your just splitting hairs, the oil is in a closed loop so no matter where you sample it your getting a representative value of how hot it is. |

the temp change can be calculated

fridges work by phase change. if your changing your oil to a gaseous state, theres something wrong :) I think that location would be fine for oil temp, if anything it probably better represents the oil temp seen by working components than the temperature in the sump. turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)
