Will the diffs in the wheely king hold oil? Or if filled with oil will it just leak all over the place?

I am asking that because why not put some 120,000wt (or heavier) silicone dff oil in there. Allow some diff action but not too much.
Im not sure if the diff will hold oil, but people are using silly putty to somewhat lock their diffs. Silly putty has a property in which it can be kneaded if moved slowly but wont knead when a quick force hits it (you can smash silly putty with a hammer). Putting silly putty in the diff allows the wheels to spin at different speeds when cornering but when there is a big difference in traction it somewhat locks it.
