what sandwich adapter do you have? Yes you can just plug the extra hole. The greddy one has everything you need.

Sandwich Adapter or Sensor Attachments are usually sold separately. Most Sandwich Adapter are supplied with plugs.

You can also get an adapter to mount the sensor near the 3rd cylinder.

In these pics I used a OEM plug, drilled a threat and wraped some teflon band on the sensor. A cheap alternative to the sandwich adapter and you even get control of higher oil temperatures at the 3rd cylinder than you will get at the oil filter.
