Narrative:
[We] executed a low speed abort [on takeoff] due to illumination of right CSD EICAS message. Upon gate arrival; maintenance discovered the CSD oil level was very low. Because this was an ETOPS operation; I asked why this wasn't discovered during the ETOPS inspection. I was informed that the ETOPS inspection involves only a visual check of the CSD oil level. I was also informed that csds on ETOPS aircraft are serviced every 100 hours regardless of what the visual check reveals and that our aircraft was approaching the 100 hour service interval. The CSD was serviced and leak checked with no noted leaks. Flight was completed with no other CSD problems.
