Changing rear diff fluid

I'm changing the rear diff fluid in my 06 C6 z51.

I jacked up the car, drained out about 53 ounces of fluid and put in about the same until the fluid started draining out the fill whole. Guess I didn't get all the old fluid out, maybe car is not totally level. I'll double check.

is this OK?

I just jacked up the rear so it was level. It was a little off. Now it pretty much stopped dripping. Guess I'm good?

I cheated and bought a lift for my garage to make it simpler, but you should be OK.

Did you put the aditive in for the clutches?

Thanks

I put in Corvette differential is Dextron LS Gear Oil 75W-90, part #88862624 the article suggested. Looks like it doesn't need any additive.
