need quick help! tranny fluid

Arg, from what I have read GL5 tranny fluid is bad for the syncros (I have been blowing sycros like CRAZY) anyways I told my dad to go get some redline tranny fluid
and obviously ... . being a dad he takes the super SUPER cheap option and gets some ...STA-Lube hypoid sae 85W90 Gear Oil API/ GL-4

its like 5$ a gallon. http://www.doityourself.com/invt/6844120

Should I even put this crap in here or just say I Did and go buy some redline / royal purple?
