It's an M46, it doesn't really matter. The detergent in the oil is your biggest concern.

People routinely run straight SAE 30 or 40 or 15w-40 or honda MTL ... basically as long as it's the right amount of slick that the synchros can grab, and a good enough viscosity that the overdrive can work, it isn't an issue.

I do remember there being a specific note of detergent oils, but I'm not sure.
