In a sense after the oil cooler and before it enters the crank case. Confirmed by Z1 Motorsports and documented on a thread somewhere.

So ...when the oil temp gauge reads 220 its actually 230. And 260 is limp mode. Minimal oil temp should be between 190 -210.
Thanks for the insightful info ZF, I would take that to mean my oil temps are right where they should be... You know how hot it gets here in summer!!!
