I have 265,00 miles on my series 60 and unbelievably it has never used or thrown oil. The dipstick has always remained at the top reading. Once I was alarmed to find I was down almost to the add line but after discussing with my trusted mechanic, I found out that because it had been idle so long the oil can breakdown (viscosity?) thereafter I would start the engine and run for a while, while in storage, and it never happened again.
