Drive unit lube

Anyone know whether this drive unit takes 80w90 or grease? Looks like someone used grease in the past. I'm assuming gear oil, but thinking if I add this in I may develop oil leaks due to age. I only have parts books. The company has several of these units with no manuals.

Fact of the week
In 1898, author Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called 'Futility', which described an "unsinkable" ship named the Titan that sank after hitting an iceberg. Fourteen years later, the Titanic sank in a strikingly similar fashion.
