Ordinary oil, changed by the book, and it was fine.

Yup. That's all that is needed - but be careful to check if early oil
changes etc are needed if the car has arduous use, like short journeys, or
low annual mileage. The handbook or service book will tell.

My brother's BMW 520 is over 250,000 miles now and still going strong
despite being used for towing a caravan. Oil changes only by the service
indicator.
