If I remember correctly for a previous post in another thread z1 examined the oil path and the placement if the oil temp sensor and has stated that the oil temp sensor is on the inlet path before the oil goes into the engine. If the gauge is reading 180F then that is the coldest point (after the cooler if you have one) and the oil will be hotter once it hits the engine up top.

Some ppl seem to think there is about a 20 deg difference between the gauge reading and what the temp is of the oil in the engine.

If you think about it, this might be somewhat close as stage 2 limp mode kicks in when the gauge reads 280F but the oil would actually be around 300F in the engine.
