Default Oil Temperture Sender

On a 4x4 saph cos where would be the best place on the engine to connect the oil temp sender.

I allready have an oil pressure gauge with the sender coming of the adapter with the original oil pressure switch.

Thanks...

I fitted my oil temp sensor into the side of my sump. It is off the car at the mo which made it easier.
You can get fittings that screw into the sump plug hole and the sensor then screws into that.
