I mean, was the engine just pretty much bone dry? No obvious mchanical failure?

The oil had to go somewhere if it was in there... I can't imagine you had it all evaporate as blow-by... either something failed (a seal, the pump, etc.) or you punched a hole in the oil pan while driving (hit any big bumps, potholes?).

The problem is, if there is no clear evidence of mechanical failure, it may be tough to prove you simply didn't run it without oil...
