Default !!!! front gear lube?

Stopped at the popo dealer to get all fluids for my 02 325 and I think they've made a mistake. The lube they gave me for the rear ends (is LT fluid / front gear case fluid) I did'nt think anything about it till I opened it up and noticed it was extremely thin. My manual says to use 5oz. of GL-5 80-90w which is way thicker. Did they give me gear lube for the quads with ADC or somthing? Can I use this? I tried to call them but were already closed. I'd like to get this back together asap. Shot gun season starts in the a.m. I'f it's the wrong stuff I can blow out to the super wal-mart tonight and just pick up some lucas gear lube to get by.

Yep, I figured as much. A new guy helped me and did'nt ask what model. That should have tipped me off to check my stuff before I left. The old guy who usually runs the parts dept. knows all the regulars and their rides. (does'nt have to ask)
