I assume that's a friction modifier in the small jar. Be sure to use it to prevent the outside tire from chirping during turns. And don't fill the diff to overflowing, so you'll have a little room to add more later. I had that exact problem--chirping during turns. I resolved it years later by adding a little more than the posi manufacturer recommended when I changed the gear lube.

I don't have issues with chirping of the tires but the diff itself would make a very odd sound during sharp turns after long straight highway cruise. This happened only when the fluid was needing changing. Adding a LSD additive to the diff kept this from occurring when fresh and for many miles thereafter.
