Jim, for most applications the axle bearings are sealed so they do not rely on the gear oil for lube. Check to see if that is the case for your combination.

And yes, it is very common to use 1 - 1 1/2 qts for gear oil. For my Firebird with a GM 12 bolt I run 1 1/2 qts. With our 9" fabricated housing I run 2 qts
