A soldier of yours says he has to add oil to his car every time he fills up, is this normal?

Up to 1967 for certain model SAAB's it was. Do not be surprised if we see a two stroke in the future, they are light weight and far more efficient in design then a four stroke.

Saab two-stroke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The first Saab two-stroke engine was based on a DKW design. The SAAB engine, a two-cylinder with 764 cc engine displacement and 25 hp was transversally placed in the 1950 - 1956 Saab 92, giving it a top speed of 100km/h (62mph). With the 1954 model engine output was raised to 28hp (21kW). It had some features only found in modern cars such as one ignition coil per cylinder.

Then all the Chinooks needed to be grounded for leaks.
