Default Diff oil level?

How much oil needs to go into the C3 diff, is it 2 bottles of gm axle and one additive?, or is the oil level meant to be level with the plug hole?

cheers

Just did mine, I used a little over two - 23 oz. bottles of GM gear lube and the single small bottle of limited slip additive. This should bring you up level with the bottom of the plug hole - which is where it is supposed to be !
