I wouldn't do that.
I added ATF to a Q100 several years ago and without dedicated axle seals, it came right out and rendered my disc brake useless.
I had to take the whole thing apart to clean out the mess.
I don't understand why everyone is so worried about the Q100 "over-heating". On reasonable power, the 201 and 260 variants spin so fast they don't over-heat anything and w/ the 328, what I over-heated was the controller, specifically, I melted the phase connectors.
W/ one of my current bikes, I'm running a 201C on 14S (54.6 V nom.) w/ a 20 Amp 9-FET w/ no heating prob.s and weigh 250 lb.s and live in TUcson. Haven't used it yet in the dead of summer yet, but I'm not worried.
Why "fix" a prob. you haven't experienced yet?
And if it does melt or cook something, that's just the Ebike Gods telling you, you need a bigger motor.
