Narrative:

An oil service door was found on the runway at acy the morning of jun/AC/97. The door was off of the aircraft which we had for flight xxz acy-buf the night of jun/ab/97. Our flight was fueled with oil svced after I had completed the preflight about 30 mins before departure. I preflted the airplane the following morning for flight xyz on jun/AC/97 buf-acy. On my walkaround I always focus on checking the engine inlets and cowling areas for security and damage. The #2 engine oil service door is on the inside cowling up high towards the engine pylon area. Obviously I failed to notice that the oil service door was missing and take full blame for the oversight. I personally believe the door was left open after servicing and was blown off during the takeoff roll.
