Hi Ted,
I just double-checked my Eldo workshop manual and here are the figures
it provides:
Total: 0.360 liters (12.7 oz USA)
--- of which ---
0.340 liters (11.4 oz USA) of gear oil
0.020 liters (0.67 oz USA) of moly
The Italian math is slighty off when the conversions are added up...in
ounces (USA) it really should be:
Total: 0.360 liters (12.17305 oz USA)
--- of which ---
0.340 liters (11.49677 oz USA) of gear oil
0.020 liters (0.6762805 oz USA) of moly
I've not compared this to any Eldo level plug (correctly or incorrectly
placed). I'll let you worry about how to measure .0000001 ounces
precisely ;>

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 http://www.thisoldtractor.com/gtbender/loopframe.htm#quick_maintenance_data says the Eldorado rear drive should have 12 oz. of oil. Which is correct?

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. |
