Narrative:
The B757 P5 check cards item 5, servicing engines A1, says check engine oil and service to full as required. Reference maintenance manual 12-13-11. However, item 3 says, service engine oil to full level on oil tank sight gauge and note quantity added. Do I only service engine to full if required? Or, every time I do a P5 check regardless of oil used?
