Stupid question, if I order a 722.6 dipstick for my car, do I also need to order plugs for the fill tube? Or does this dipstick stay in the tube?

All of the pictures I have found online dont appear to have an o-ring on the sticks end to seal against leakage.

Also, with my IR thermo, where am I to take the temp at?
The trans pan itself? The bellhousing?

Thnaks guys!

No, the dipstick does not stay in the tube. Take the temperature with your IR gun from the bottom of the trans pan itself.

Also, if you have a local napa auto parts. These worked for me when replacing the cap of the filler tube.
