I just looked at Patrick's advice saying to add 230cc's of oil and 20 cc's
of moly to my rear drive. That is about 8.5 fluid ounces total.

Greg Benders site

says the Eldorado rear drive should have 12 oz. of oil.

Which is correct?

It is neither. It is supposed to be a level plug, but they are
notoriously inaccurate. I don't ever remove it. Drain the liquid from
the sump bottom. Add new fluid through the top plug to a specified
volume using a nice measuiring cylinder. 230cc gear oil, 20cc moly.
