Isn't that the capacity for the later rear drive (T3, etc.)? The deep
sump Eldo-style drives use 360cc (340 + 20) of lube according to all of

Certainly would not be my first error. Its been awhile since I owned a
loop, and yes, that capacity is for my EV's, SP, etc. Always look in
the spec book before filling anything.
Sorry.
