Default Transmission Dip Stick Tube? 2003 XJR

Can I top off the trans. fluid through the sealed dip stick tube? I have read how to check the level already using the search function.

Other threads say 2 1/2" off the bottom of the pan. Is this correct?

We have the dipsticks for the supercharged cars for $114.89, but I'm not sure if that's what y'all are talking about.

That car has a factory sealed transmission. There is no dipstick.

Look under the plastic cover on the right hand side of the car in front of the fire wall, there is a tube.
