differential oil type?

I accidentally bought the wrong oil grade for the differential... I can't remember what it should officially be, but I have:

"Castrol Differential transmission fluid" EPX 80W-90

How similar is that to stock? -is that going to be ok to use??

Many members use Mobil 1, 75-90 in the rear end along with GM posi additive, should you have a limited slip.
