Use Laser heat gun to check trans. temp??

[MO525]

I noticed the narrow temp. range for checking Auto. Trans. fluid level on the A4S 310R tranny in my '93 525.
The Pelican Parts page mentions using a regular "human" thermometer on the pan.
I thought....Why can't I use a super-accurate, no-contact, laser temp. gun?

I have one in the shop.

Sound logical?

Shooting it at the pan should give me a reasonably accurate temp. reading for checking level per BMW/Bentley instructions.

Thanks!
