Can the Mobil 1 75/90 be used with the LS additive or use the Delvac Mobil fluid in a 2003 LX470? Thanks

My 4th gen V8 4Runner is leaking at the transfer case, a common issue with these AWD/full-time 4WD 4Runners and GXs. IIRC Toyota calls for 75W-85 GL-5.
Been using Mobil 1 75-90, but considering moving to this Mobil Mobilube HD Plus HD gear oil.
The specs say "Heavy-duty manual transmissions, axles and final drives requiring API GL-5 and MT-1 level performance" so I imagine it's compatible? I'd rather have the leak fixed but finding a mechanin in LA area who can tell me they've done this repair and are willing to do it again is proving to be an impossibility and a new TC is close to $4k with tax, BEFORE R&R labor cost
. I'd drive 400 miles to find a competent mechanic who is experienced at doing this repair but in the meantime, thinking of moving back to dino andmaybe even an additive . Dang leak is giving me grief.
