Fill until the gear oil starts flowing out of the fill hole... Just make sure the car is level before starting to fill.

You could put it on 4 jackstands, or drive the rear end up on car ramps and jack the front up. I've done that before. Or if you have access to a shop lift, that's even better!

You can do it with just the driver's side jacked up. It's just that you'll have to fill it until you can feel (with your little finger) that the oil is near the hole. Then leave the plug out, put a drain pan under it, and let the car down. The excess will run out and it'll be at exactly the right level. Now put the plug back in.
