Note that older engines don't need oil to meet modern specs. The best thing to do with an older engine with flat rockers (versus roller rockers) is to ensure you use an oil with a higher zinc content to protect them, as this is a high shear area of the engine. That being said, it does sound like a good price for oil for a modern car that would need a 5w40 oil.
