No you cannot really leave the ATF dipstick in as it is too long, just put the cap back on or buy another one from MB they are only pennies I believe.

The little red thing is a locking tag that they fit to the cap which is meant to stop people other than mb checking the g/box oil! You will still need the black cap that clips on to the top of the tube
