My oil level won't drop, but the oil has had usage. I change my oil and filter every 3000 miles or less, pending the way the car was driven in a certain time span. My grandma might not use up the max properties of her oil in 10k miles, but I could use them up in 1000. Do you understand what happens to oil when it's used in a motor that stays in 6k - 8k rpm for 500 miles straight with piston speeds higher than a F1 car? Mileage and time are not the only deciding factors of when oil is used up. Nor or the levels of which a computer sensor measures them.

We are talking about a dipstick... not lubrication and the effects racing has on the melecular properties/structures of pure synthetic motor oil.
BTW, Formula1 engines exceed
18,000 rpms...!
Your assumptions are way out of scope of this discussion...
