Temporary dipstick replacement?

[AG2022]

Just got a used 2005 gx470. The previous owner for whatever reason didn't have a dipstick in it, was being blocked with a empty pen tube. Well my dumb self as broken the pen. I got all of the pen out of the hole but what would you guys suggest to use instead just so I can drive it to the dealership in the morning and get a replacement?

You really just need to keep debris out, and keep oil in. If it's just for a quick trip to the dealer, just cap the tube and don't try to put a plug in the tube. Cut off the finger of an old glove and zip tie it on? Or find a vacuum cap that fits, or a deep well socket with an extension in it to plug the hole of the socket.

Thanks. I went ahead to a scrap yard near me and pulled one off a toyota just to make it to the dealer lol
