Default How to extract oil from a 2.0T with no dipstick?

I took my '14 A4 2.0T in for service recently and the service rep told me that they use an extractor to change the oil instead of removing the drain plug. He said that there's a cap on the engine that they can remove to insert the extractor for removing the oil. Does anyone know where this is located?

Just in front of the oil filter. It has a round plastic cap. It can also hold an aftermarket dip stick. It is located where the dip stick used to be.

Great. Can you tell me where I can find a compatible dipstick? I hate having to deal with checking my oil using the internal display.

Edit: Nevermind. I found a YouTube video with the part number. The dipstick PN is 06J 115 611 L. You can find one on ebay for about $11. ECSTuning has special dipsticks for about $65.

Here's the link to the video:
