This is an FYI, so please don't kill the messenger as this is not up for debate, just passing along info. for the club.
Ok, I have heard and have an OEM service manual that says to fill these units to the bottom of the fill plug. But, just got off the phone with Magnuson Products (805-642-8833) technical dept which supplies GM their blowers and rebuilds. EATON appointed these guys as their ONLY representative for sales and rebuilds of blowers. Magnuson said for my 91' SC (different cars have different amounts) that it should have no more than 8oz. added to the system for a complete fill, not up to the plug. They explained that there needs to be room in the nose to breathe and if it's filled with oil that it will blow the seal.
Along with this, is the all time question of which blower oil. Magnuson said that either FORD or GM will work, just make sure it is synthetic blower oil and not a substitute.
Hope this may help anyone out there
