Are you saying that prior to each oil change, you confirmed that it was at the same level on the dipstick as it was following the last oil change?
Without that or actual records of amount in and amount drained, it's impossible to draw that conclusion. I can readily accept that it remained in the acceptable range (between dipstick marks), but saying it didn't use any oil really requires a much more intensive effort to support the claim.
Change interval also matters. Standard is 5000 miles. Did you change it more or less often?
