Default Gear oil for diff

hi guys my friend at honda just hooked me up with a tranny flush and diff fluid, my question is that they had no more 75-90 so he putted in 80-90 for the diff...will that be ok ? we already drained the diff fluid so all we had was that to work with and i needed to get the car off the rack... hopefully it should be ok ? anyhow any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

should be fine, 75 wouldn't be needed in your region as it doesn't get overly cold there.

I prefer a 110 fluid, or even 140 in those extreme heat locations. Amsoil makes 75-110 and 75-140 but if you can't find it perhaps you can locate it in a different brand in your area - Motul or Shell etc....
