Talking Rear diff. fluid question again

Changed my rear diff fluid late last night and when refilling it only took about 3 quarts of fluid plus 4 oz. of ls additive. Runs good and is definately full - I drove it and then rechecked it. Just wondering if this something to worry about or could there have been 1/4 quart left in there ? Thinking theres plenty of fluid in there to the job but just wanting to make sure. Thanks, Bill

Not to be a smarty pants, but if your level is full, then you got enough to do the job!
