Default fill oil in the axle housing?

Hi,

Did any try to fill up oil (motor oil) in the axle housing that enough to be touched by the diff? It will be similar to a real car. It will let he diff gears to lub itself by touching the oil, in theory..... Not sure if it will leak out instantly though......
