Default Differential fill bolt tightness?

I just changed the differential fluid for the first time. Everything was simple enough. But since there's not room to put a torque wrench on the fill bolt, I'm worried I didn't get it tight enough. After tightening it with my hand, I got about 1/4 of a turn with the wrench and stopped. It felt tight but I can definitely get it tighter. Anybody got any advice?

tighten it good and tight but dont go back and tighten it with the strength of god... stripping that out or breaking that bolt off in the hole would be no fun at all ...
