Thanks I couldnt decide if it was increasing or decreasing the friction. I dont know how more or less slip than intended affects the workings of the diff.

EDIT

I just looked up one example of a friction modifier for differential use and it states "Limited-slip or Positraction units use plates or clutches to provide the proper amount of lock-up to the differential. Slippery lubricants are required to prevent chatter, but too much slipperiness causes excess wheel spin, reducing traction.
For perfect traction, use Red Line 75W90NS and add the Red Line Limited-Slip Differential Friction-Modifier / Break-In Additive until the chatter disappears."
