I do hear a weird sound at tight turns specially if there is a bump or change in ground level making the car rocking left and right (if I get the description right).

Guess I'm lucky then. I'll use it up ASAP.

Any DIY idea in how to use it? It does not have a filling nose.

Okay, I did it. I got myself a syringe from a pharmacy (lol), removed the needle, and used it to fill the differential. The diff capacity is 1.1l and the additive is 114ml. I hope this is enough for it. I'll test it for a couple more days and see if the weird sound is gone. IF it is gone, then it is the clutches then. It sounds like a rusty hinge swinging. The sounds has been there for a long time now. I hope nothing is damaged.

I think you have worn suspension parts...

Okay, things seem good after putting a couple hundred kilometers on the diff. after the additive installation. The sound seems to be from the exhaust/tail pipe. I didn't check if there is LSD and I did it anyway since I had it in the trunk. It is designed to prevent humming noise too at least.
