Oil Temperature Sensor??

Finally got the new oil temp gauge for my psd. im wondering tho, where is the best place or only place to locate the sensor. the sensor is like a screw in so i know i need to drill and tap it somewhere. wondering if anyone had some input on this topic. thanks

Without crawling under my rig and looking I think that is where I installed my Oil temp sending unit.

The Plug they are referring to is where I have the pressure test port/bypass filter supply labeled. It is 1/8 pipe thread even though I have it labeled 1/4
