is EP80W/90 GL5 a fair swap for SAE90 in my atlas axle? just got 2 litres for £8, which i think is alright, so i bought it rather than check and go back out to get it, but is it going to be fine?

EP, extreme pressure, 80W/90, 80 winter, thiner while cold, multi viscosity, goes to 90 when hot. We used Valvoline 75/140 in Datsun 1200 race car axle, great stuff.
