Brilliant observation...let us know how you plan to read the temp of the oil at the rings...

Oh, and where does that oil go after getting heated by the cylinder walls? Into the pan where your oil temp sensor is. Maybe I should clarify for you since you seem to be very literal. The oil in the pan is the hottest WHERE IT CAN BE MEASURED.
