Not Ranked
in the sump
Good, the sensor should be in the sump. You want to "estimate" the oil temp when it leaves the bearings.
There is a most valuable chart on Randall's site:

Note:
Engine oil temp is typically 75F hotter at the bearings than in the sump!
Bearings burn out at 375F (300F in the sump)
