So I just did a drain and fill on the diff and used a pump to get the entire bottle of Redline 75w90 in. Went to add the additive and had to add the entire 4oz bottle to get fluid to the fill point. Is there any issue with having the entire 4oz instead of 2.5oz in the diff housing?

Nothing wrong with adding all 4oz.

Do about 10 slow figure 8s in a parking lot. It helps get that additive into the clutch surfaces. That amount is fine, many put a little extra in to make it last a bit longer. The additive wears out quick if used hard.

I like the Valvoline Synthetic that has limited slip additive already for ease of use.
