It's been at least a decade and a half since I could do a $10 oil change. 

I remember back in the early 00's having sales at Oreilly's and stuff where you get 4qts and a filter for $10 for store brand, or $15 for the primo stuff. 4qt Valvoline jugs were only about $10 by themselves.

Make sure you get an oil with high ZDDP anti scuff levels over 1,000 PPM. Chevron Delo 400, Shell Rotella T4 in 10w30 or even 15w40 if in southern hot states will supply this. They are both a 'light' diesel oil. There are others. Over the counter oils marked for 'racing' or 'flat tappet' engines are also good. Not a fan of synthetic in older engines. Not worth the expense and not needed on older design engines that have no problem with cold start up oil flow. Not like new engines with smaller bearings.
