Just enough to coat them is needed. More may help it run a bit quieter for a short period, but will then just fling onto the case and cause more drag (though a very minor amount). I usually put a small line down half the ring gear, rotate it a couple times to make sure it coated well like I wanted it too, then close up the case.
