At wherever you want to check the temp. If you don't have any available port, you have to make one. People use an oil drain plug with a 1/8NPT port like the one in the link below. I personally prefer to read it at post oil cooler if possible, since that's the actual oil temp that goes into the main oil gallery. If you have an external oil cooler, it would be easier to install the sensor.

STM Oil Pan Drain Plug with 1/8

The STM M14x1.5 engine oil pan drain plug is machined with an 1/8" NPT temperature sensor provision to allow you to install a temp sensor right into your drain plug. The plug itself has a M14x1.5 thread which fits most Mitsubishi including DSM, Evo and 3S and some Honda, Acura and Mazda models.
