Check the tag on the rear differential to make sure you have limited slip. There should be a letter "L" indicating limited slip. If there is no letter "L" you don't have limited slip.
The LS from Ford is a quirky setup, and doesn't always work like you think it should. Many times in extremely slick conditions it flat out doesn't work and the rear acts like an open differential. To help it engage, you have to "load" it up, meaning apply the brakes and feather the accellerator at the same time (almost like power braking).
When the LS setup begins to fail, you'll end up with a lot of rear end chatter at low speeds or while cornering. If you don't have those symptoms, then no service or additives are required.

to load it up the recomendation is to do it with the parking brake
while it does work somewhat it is a real pain to hold the release while feathering the brake
