    Or he figured as he was putting in 4 litres of oil with every tank of fuel it was fresh and didn't need to be changed?

    This is not a stupid concept, old piston engine aircraft (DC3 etc) use to burn enough oil that it was not required to be changed.

    This Landy was very good in the way of oil leaks (none that I could see), but I don't think that will be the case for much longer.
