In short, there is a sensor for oil temperature and is monitored by the engine ecu, however it might no be seen by stardard obd2 readers.

Would you be able to see results from that techstream tool again and possibly indentify the PID for the Oil temp, with the PID we'd be able to add it in torque and get the info, and the reason you don't see it on the standard obd2 readers is simply that, because it's not a standard obd2 code >
there also refered to as Vehicle Specific or Manufacturer Specific PID's and basically hardly anyone has access to these specific pid's except scantools such as techstream that pay top dollar to have them..
