There should be no problem using 20w50 engine oil. Several car 
manufacturers specify it for there gearbox and or O/D gearbox i.e. 
Sunbeam, Jensen Healey.
Changing oil on a regular basis in manual gearboxes is paramount as you 
will always have some swarf from the synchro's and the occasional 
grinding the gears in reverse.
I still do not understand the present practice in new cars never to 
change the gearbox oil, often there is not even a drain plug present.
