Default oil change

I finally got around to pulling the big plug on my 39. Pipe wrench was a friend. Black looking dirty oil, but its been sitting up 10-15 years. Can i put modern oil in it? I remember SAE 30 from my youth. I usually use Castrol 10w 30. Also. Towards the back of the pan I saw something that looks like a cotter pin from the bottom. So the loop is inside the pan, and the 2 ends are visible about 6 inches back from the plug. What is that? It didn't leak oil. Is it stock or some mod.
A master cylinder, fuel pump and carb are next.......
