As I correct in thinking "Mobil1 Synthetic Gear Lubricant LS 75W-90" is fine to use in the old style gear reducing unit with the street 90 elbow?

Thanks

Go for it. Do yourself a favor and fill it through the drain plug.

Thanks, I appreciate it. The others I have had all had the newer reducing gear.
