From looking at the records on my E300, the first owner also performed 10K oil changes on dino but a thicker, 15w-40 weight. I also have visible blowby, as I have the CCV mod that vents the CCV gases to the atmosphere. Sometime it's more, sometime it's less. She doesn't appear to use any real measuable amount of oil. So I'm not worried about it whatsoever.
