Gear case lube type?

Hello,
Simple question I can't find the answer to, I always get an answer here.
I just filled my lower unit with fresh gear lube in my 1961 5.5hp Evinrude(5522) with the hi-vis

But the back label says for all model made in or after 1973...??
Now, can I use it or drain it out and replace with another type, and what type?
thanks in advance!!
Peter.
 
Just use the HI-VIS !!!---------Lubrication is a subject that is not well understood.-----Not much difference between gears made in 1955 to 1979 for that wonderful motor.----I just put Hi-VIS into a 1965 model like yours with a 1979 powerhead.---Don't worry about the label !!

Got ya, I'm not a bit worry after what you'd confirmed. Just wanted to understand the difference.
I'll read as much about it as I can.
Thanks once again:)
