98 expedition rear differential

ok.. i have a 98 expedition. the rear end was leaking so i got a gasket and the syntheic oil.. here is my problem. both of my repair manuals state there is a oil fill plug in the front side of the rear axle housing. i can not find that plug. i can only find a sensor that is near the top of the housing. if i take off the sensor i can fill it from there. but how much oil to put in to it.. both manuals state to put 5.7 pts of oil in.. which is almost 3 quarts. i can not feel the oil when i put my finger in the hole as stated in the repair manuals. so i put in another quart with is now 4 quarts or 8 pints. and still can not feel the oil. i have both tags from the rear axel housing.
tag 1
75w140 synth
oil only

tag 2
S 935 C-1
3L7.3 9 7.5 7H04

what gives.
Thanks for the help

The fill plug is there. It's about halfway up on the driver's side. If it's not there, you have the only one ever made like that.
