I'd probably keep the existing boss. Either eliminate the dipstick tube. Or use a dipstick tube with a cap that screws into a tee in the existing boss. Unscrew cap to check level. I rarely check the level between changes anyway. So a dipstick isn't really necessary or the inconvenience of removing a cap isn't that great..
