This question is very subjective if you only state the price.

At this price, you maybe getting a semi-synthetic, but unknown viscosity and unknown brand.

You have to check with your SC what brand and what oil are they using.
But from what I heard from a friend of mine who is owning a Atoz, they are using Shell as their supplied oils.

I must beg to differ and throw a spanner on this one.
I myself is using oils such as Q8,Idemitsu,Mobil and ELF semi-synthetics in the past and all these while. 

There is no hard and fast rule that old junks must only use normal oil.

I dont simply settle for any cheap, off-the-shelve oils found in either Carrefour or Giant.Even Petronas oils are off my list.
There is a noticeble difference between semis and minerals, and between brands.

I only to regret  this time to try out minerals (and it's coming from Idemitsu!)  for my 15yr old ride cause my engine feels rough at 5000KM.

Next oil change thinking whether to go for MOTUL or ADNOC semi-synthetic or Fully Synthetic. No more minerals.

Current oil (for testing purposes): Honda/Idemitsu 10W30 mineral oil. RM 55/4L.
Results: Not a long lasting oil.

I'll answer you the one in blue.

Mobil Delvac 1640, SAE 40

Mobil Delvac 1600 series

RM 55 for 5 litres
thats 5 litres and check out the specs too.

Suitable for older cars up to 15 years of age, which asks for up to API SF grade, such as:

*Proton Wira 1.3 and 1.5 GLI (fuel injection models)
*Proton Iswara/Saga
*Perodua Kancil and Rusa

Please check your manual if your Hyundai Getz supports API SE and above.
