Does the sensor need to be in the oil flow?

Does the sensor need to be in the oil flow?

The sensor does not need to be in the direct flow of oil, provided there is turnover of oil (oil is moving).
The sensor nose must remain immersed in oil at all times however to provide an accurate reading.
The sensor nose must be fully immersed in oil to provide a reading

The sensor nose must protrude fully into the oil to be monitored
The sensor should be installed into oil that moves
A sensor immersed in oil that is moving will provide the best reading
It is important to ensure that the sensor does not restrict the flow of oil when installed.
Sensor nose must not restrict the flow of oil
