Stopped by my local TSC today for some bolts and checked on the gear lube. 5 Gal pail Traveller 80w90 GL-5 $69.99 (assuming the tag on the shelf is correct). That's about $14/gal which is currently cheaper than SuperTech at my local Walmart. But more importantly it's in stock and available.
On the back of the pail it said:

If mandate is still on truck can gear oil still be ran in engine ?
On my prostar it was demandated and gear oil did a beautiful job as far as keeping it clean.

I would likely not be harmful as long as the engine has low blo-by and is not consuming oil.
