Differential, Hyphoid Gears, Red Line Fluid ???

OK, So I changed my Diffs with Redline MT-90 (75-90W GL-4) gear oil as recommended by ECS Tuning.

After the fact, I then read on Redline's web site that it is not recomended for Hyphoid Gears and that their 75-90W GL-5 gear lube is what they recomend?

So was I screwed by ECS? Is it a big concern, do these differentials have hyphoid gears and why does it matter?

Now I am looking at changing it out with the correct fluid and am not to happy about it

Live and learn I guess.
