Narrative:

While I was checking oil on #2 engine, I noticed a possible over service condition. I asked another mechanic for his opinion on the oil level. After the second mechanic checked the oil level, the door latching may have been inadvertently left unsecured, but to the best of my knowledge all door fasteners were properly secured.
