I would like to install an oil temperature sensor. Which one would you recommend?

Would a sensor from VDO work with the Ecumaster?

e.g. this one here?

# VDO oil temperature sensor 1/8 inch 150 degrees ArtNo.: 5218492280

or which one would be more suitable?

Do you have the scaling of the sensor? You will need that.

I have the following data, is that enough?

Ohm range: 322.8 at 50 °C to 18.6 at 150 °C  
Test values: at 120 °C 36.5 Ohm ± 2.7 Ohm

Just use the appropriate pull up resistor and you should be all good.
