Did aeration and over-seeding. Can I still use Drive XLR8?

I'm in MD.

I'm new to lawn care and just started paying attention to my lawn this week. On September 12th, I had my lawn aerated and overseeded.

The problem is that my lawn is heavily covered in crabgrass (and white clover). I purchased Drive XLR8 which is a post-emergent herbicide for crabgrass. I just don't know if I should still use it this year, or when?

My lawn was just overseeded two days ago. How long do I need to wait to use Drive XLR8 on the crabgrass? If I wait 2-weeks, it will be September 26th. Isn't that too late to be using the weed/crabgrass killer?

I know the crabgrass dies on it's own in the winter, so do I even need this chemical since it will be dead by December/January?

How should I proceed? Overall lawn condition: Looking green with a lot of bare spots and crabgrass / clover.
