If you have a 12 bolt (non-round cover) you will find the fill plug on the front side of the housing, near the top. Fill as described above and your set. The ratio will be printed on the side of the ring gear as a tooth count. It will appear as 41:11. This is the ring gear tooth number (41) and the pinion gear tooth number (11). This combo would be 3.73. 4.10 I think is 41:10.

BTW, the oil will stink really bad when you dump it out, so be sure to catch it in a pan, you don't want it on you. It takes a while for the smell to come out of your clothes and skin.
