Darrel, This has been discussed here before,..several times.
I've run 1 qt. 85-90 synthetic, quite a bit ,and never hurt anything.
The cover design on a 12 bolt, directs oil right to the side bearings anyway.
That being said, it's been determined by several racers, that a lot of the oil goes up into the axle tubes anyway, and that 2 qts. won't hurt you much.
A personal observation: If you are going to try some kind of super light concoction for a record run or something, make sure the gears are well broken in with the regular stuff first.
