Diff fluid question

My car has done 97000KM and i am planning to change the diff fluid but folks here don't recommend me doing so because "you might have clearance issue between ring and pinion". Personally, i don't see any issues with regards to clearance. How would draining the old thicker oil cause this issue?

What about the idea of adding 2 bottles of LSD additive? What would it do and why would someone add 2 while manufacturer says 1 only.!!

2 bottles of slip additive if you have the JRE posi mod for your LSD is all. Mobil 1 is good. Redline 75w90 GL5 is what I use.

Unfortunately we don't have these where around here.
The only "good" options here are Redline or AC-Delco 75w-90 synthetic axle lube
