Default Differential Additive / chatters when making tight turns

Did a fluid change on rear diff and put 4 ounces of LSD additive in there.
Filled the axle and chatters making tight turns. (I obviously need another bottle in there)
My question is, being I filled the pumpkin until it dripped out of the fill hole, if I suck some gear fluid out, should just suck out 4 or so ounces worth and add another 4 ounces?

Reason I ask is because now that the 4 ounces I added is mixed in the gear fluid, is 4 more ounces going to be enough if I suck out some fluid?

What is everyone's thoughts.

I didn't think we needed LSD additive in our diffs?

Yeah there is a tag on one of the blots to use it. It is a limited slip diff.

I parked vehicle with passenger side wheels on the curb putting truck on a slight tilt. I added another 4 ounce bottle and seems to be much better now.
