That's the same as saying that you shouldn't check the volt meter because the voltage isn't suppose to change. In real life we can tell if the charging system is working by periodically checking the voltage. Oil is the life blood of your engine and it needs to be monitored. It shouldn't change but you can prevent catastrophy by monitoring it. That's the whole idea.

If the car isn't suppose to be monitored you wouldn't have a friggin dip stick on the side of the block. It's simple maintainance and taking simple care of your car. My 240Z is almost 40 years old and it doesn't burn a drop of oil either but that doesn't mean you don't check the oil levels periodically.

AND we already know that the cars consume oil (as do MANY other modern engines) so it really is foolish knowing that they may/may not consume oil to not check them.
