If it can get past warranty period I guess good luck.
A lot of major suppliers talk 10-15ppm which is bugger all. You would forget to check oil levels like modern cars.

You would only have to have 1 incident under warranty & proper design might be paid for.
Cost of oil to top up & more than likely synthetic oil, labour to possibly check coalescers to see if OK, drain excess oil from plant & hopefully it didn't upset the system as well.
If your real lucky plant is in town, not in a remote location.

Old type with no coalescers, yes throw over lots of oil.

Like you say keeps us in a job
