(3 1/4 turns = 3.73 etc.) There is a catch to this if you have a non limited slip rear though. You need to have one tire stationary and the count will be double. (6 1/2 divided by 2 = 3 1/4 = 3.73)
It can be a pain to pull the rear cover and refill with oil if you dont have too!

This is a good way to get an idea for the ratio. One small note though, it would be 3 3/4 turns equals 3.73, not 3 1/4.
