I was wondering because one of the mechanics at work added a few quarts of 80-90 to our 75-90 bucket. He didnt know there was a difference(i dont know why look *** he color). The bossman is going to through it out and I was wondering if its safe to run my my rear end.

Yes, it's safe. They can be mixed. Hopefully they are the same brand.
