That's a real shame Jeff. I have a D600 and initially also had the oil spots after several hundred shots. I sent my D600 in to Nikon USA and they replaced the shutter mechanism and after over 8000 more shots I have no more oil problems. The camera returned to me looking like new.
Maybe he needs to find another repair facility to get the issue fixed.
Now back on topicI used to be a fan of putting a protective filter on the front of each lens as soon as I got it. Now I carry a protective filter and use it if I should be in a very harsh environment other wise I just let the hood protect the filter.
Just my 2 cents with.
Glad to know you are sorted as far as the oil problem on the D600.
I'm thinking that I may get one when I am in UK later this month.
Regarding the item to filter or not this is an age old one. For me I feel that since I dont use/buy camera insurance then a £â‚¬$30 on the front of the lens is my insurance.
I understand Robert's thought and if I want then I do actually remove the filter.
