Nice 80% Dominik.

Oil temperature is an indication of how much heat is generated by bearing friction - how well they're keeping metal-to-metal contact down. (There is some shear energy dissipated, but it's relatively minor.) Always measure the oil temperature in the pan, just after it has left the bearings.
