This is just my personal opinion. The major oil companies make great oils that meet or exceed all the new car specs. This includes outfits like BMW and Mercedes.
This oil isn't anywhere near the prices you noted...I don't know if I have ever seen oil at those prices. If you stick with the off the shelf major brands..even a synthetic, your new engine will be fine.
Break it in properly, change oil when necessary and it will last a long time.
It takes a lot of infrastructure to manufacture a motor oil. Most of these specialty oils are jazzed up base oils purchased in bulk from a major refinery, then marked up a whole bunch.
