Default Hardtop guy diff fluid

i ordered the 607 Almasol SAE 90 NEW LE1605 from him, got it today, but its a little different.

it says:
1605
duolec vari-purpose
gear lubricant
ISO 220/ SAE 110
AGMA 5EP

i'm guessing its just an updated/better version.. just trying to make sure.

and alsooooo since i have to change the fluid in only 1k miles(rebuilt diff) is there a cheaper fluid i can use for that 1k miles since this fluid was kind of expensive?

or should i order another bottle of this?

thanks guys

Why are you changing so frequently? You can try Amsoil Severe Gear. It's cheaper especially if you are a Prefered Customer.

I use nothing BUT LE1605 in my diff. Good stuff IMO. My diff noise seems to be less noisy as well.
