Thanks for that. As soon as I posted the question, I went looking for the literature that came with the gearbox. I found it - surprisingly. It said 90 grade EP GL5 oil and in bold letters, do not use 600 grade oil. I have already drained and refilled the gearbox with the correct oil and I'll use what I took out in the diff.
I feel better about things now.
