The easy way is to get an oil temp sender that replaces the oil pan drain plug. I believe the size for 300E is M14 x 1.5, and VDO makes a 300 degree F/150 deg C range sender (which you should use for oil temp) in that size. You can get it for around $27 from egauges.com - I highly recommend them for gauge-related stuff.
