Sounds like 80W-90 is your closest bet then. Should work fine.

You could ask in a truck workshop or in a marine workshop?
Ask what kind of hypoid gear oil they have.

Can you get Castrol?

I used royal purple 75w90 GL5 gear oil. Seems good so far as I've only had it for about 1000 miles.

we dont have any US brand here in KSA,
i just found a locally made oil that says GL-5 & SAE90 but it looks cheap
i guess Mobil 80W90 is better?
