Before 91-93 508cc of 10w oil with a level of 118mm from the top of the fork tube with the fork fully bleed, fully compressed & spring out.

After 93 460cc of 10w oil with a level of 135mm from the top of the fork tube with the fork fully bleed, fully compressed & spring out.

Just bumping this thread as I have a relevant question.

What fluid levels should I run with a set of F3 forks slotted into F2 lowers?

Cheers

I'd use the F3 fluid level. If you don't like the way it feels, you can do some minor adjustments to the level to adjust how it rides. More fluid gives stiffer damping, and vice versa.
