Mixing Gear Box Fluids.... OK?

I have filled my Gear box up with oil supplied to me... but it turns out that I don't have enough :(

 

Yes, I know, I should have checked. I have put about 2.6L of 75w-85 APL4+ in....

But I need to top it up to overflowing (about 0.3L) and all I can get hold of is 75w-90 API GL4/GL5

 

Am I OK to top up this 0.3L with the lower grade stuff?

 

Or should I leave it as is and order some of the same stuff to top it up (Don't really need to drive her for a few days)...

 

Suggestions please people.....?

keep it stationary until you get the right stuff and do it properly. that's what i'd do anyway.

As to it mattering... not sure, doubt you'd ever know but it wouldn't sit right in my head.

Even if it is only 5 out on the viscosity... and it will be like 0.3L?

 

cheers Husky..

 

I have hands to help me today, will be tricky later on in the week on my own :(
