This is the fill plug:

There is one included in the fill kit.
And dang, $70 off is a good price on that kit.
On the transmission pan screws, there are two different torque specs. If you get the aluminum screws, it needs a really low torque 4 Nm, plus 90 degrees. If you get the steel screws, it's an easy (but still low) 10Nm. I got the steel screws in the FCP kit, but I don't if that's always the case.
I was expecting the aluminum screws and used that to justify a fancy electronic 1/4" torque wrench. And then I didn't need it. Oh well, you can never have too many cool tools, and I'm sure it will come in handy on something else.
Dropping and replacing the pan was actually the easiest part of this job. No real clearance issues, and everything came off and went on easily. The problems are all with the fill plug access and the fill process.
