I think the parts need to get completely lubricated with the new stuff which from my understanding is an additive that is a bit "thicker" and helps with providing more "cushioning" for lack of a better term, between parts.

So if you get the fluid changed, make sure you give it a chance to work! I thought mine did not fix my problem. Amazing the sounds a differential can make! Sounded like a bag of rocks sliding around back there
Good to hear this! I had the fluid changed twice, but to no avail. Let's hope it will quieten down with more mileage.
