Narrative:
I was assigned to service oil on aircraft X. I went to aircraft X; checked the logbook; and the write-up was #1 engine showing 8 quarts. I proceeded to service the oil check work card. I went to the aircraft for the flashlight; came back down to service #1 engine with 4 pints of oil. I remember opening and latching the oil service door then proceeded to service #2 engine and #2 engine did not require oil. I remember opening and latching the oil service door. Completed the paperwork; went back up to the aircraft to return the logbook. The oil service door in #2 engine came open at some point in-flight causing damage to the lower cowling on aircraft X.
