I use a cheapo temp gun pointed at the pan and do the check at the lower range. This assumes the fluid is a few degrees hotter than the pan... I do think this process is pretty lame. There are too many variables, primarily leveling the vehicle properly. And what's "dribble", by the way?
The top of the fluid is the top of the fluid. Gimme an old skool dipstick and fill tube, dang it. And if you want a specific temp, put a readout on the screen.
Sheesh.
