Default Pre-Oiler Tap Location

I've purchased an electric oil pump. I wish to pull oil from the pan and push it thru a one-way valve into the oil galleries to raise the oil pressure prior to starting. I plan on using a momentary switch on the dash to activate it while watching the oil pressure gauge. These setups are sometimes also called a pre-luber.

I see no reason to use a fancy pressurized tank to do the job.

The question I have is where best to connect to the engine.

There is an oil cooler that appears to be tied to somewhere near the oil filter, but I cannot get a clear picture of it.

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding choosing a connection point on the 6.5 turbo diesel?

Thanks.
