the biggest problem is all the crud that the modern oil will dislodge. non detergents leave a lot more sludge and other deposits.
what is your maintenance history/schedule? what's the oil look like when you change it? what's the repair history (last overhaul)? have you popped open the valve cover and/or oil pan to look at what lies beneath?
there's different schools of thought at changing over to modern lube. one is remove the sheet metal and clean it. another is dilution over time to achieve 100% detergent oil in the crankcase. some say dont change til you overhaul it (so that everything can be chemically cleaned). it's complicated, but ultimately your decision.
