Additive for LSD diff?

I plan on changing my rear diff oil this weekend. I have the limited slip diff. Do I need to add an additive like I had to for a posi diff? Thanks

The manual calls for regular 80/90 gear oil. No additives.

Nonreplaceable? I'm pretty sure that it's on the 30k mile maintenance schedule. Or are you saying that the VLSD has fluid in it seperate from the normal diff fluid? Or am I just misunderstanding you?
