B737-800 CAPT REFUSED TO ALLOW PROPER OIL SVC FOR THE #1 ENG.

Narrative

CAPT X CAME INTO MIA WITH A LOGBOOK ENTRY OF NEEDING L ENG OIL SVC; INDICATES 11 QUARTS. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE ACFT; I NOTED FUEL COMING FROM THE R ENG DRAIN MAST AND INVESTIGATED. THE FUEL LEAK WAS WITHIN MAINT MANUAL LIMITS AND WAS ALREADY ON A TECHNICIAN WATCH. IT WAS AT THIS TIME THAT I INFORMED CAPT AND FO OF THE GOOD NEWS. IT WAS ALREADY PAST THE MINIMUM TIME LIMIT ON SVCING ENG OIL BY THEN. I INFORMED CAPT AND FO THAT THE L ENG WOULD HAVE TO BE RUN AND THEN THE OIL SVCED AS PER ACR'S MAINT MANUAL. CAPT TOLD ME TO 'JUST PUT A FEW QUARTS IN SO WE CAN LEAVE ON TIME.' I AGAIN INFORMED HIM THAT I WOULD FOLLOW THE MAINT MANUAL PROC AND RUN THE L ENG FIRST. I RETURNED TO THE GATE WITH THE OIL SVCING TOOLS AND THE ACFT WAS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN. MY SUPVR CALLED THE TWR TO HAVE THE ACFT RETURNED FOR SVC. CAPT REFUSED; INFORMED US THAT HE HAD TAKEN CARE OF THE OPEN LOGBOOK ENTRY AND THAT HE WAS GOING ON FLT. CAPT PUT THIS IN THE LOGBOOK; 'INFO TO MAINT; L ENG OIL QUANTITY INDICATED 13 QUARTS. MAINT UNAVAILABLE TO SVC OIL WITHOUT A DEP DELAY. CAPT ELECTED TO DEPART WITHOUT EXTRA SVC; SUGGESTED ABOVE.' UPON CAPT'S AND FO'S RETURN ON FLT XY TO MIA NOW WITH 2 OPEN LOGBOOK ENTRIES; CAPT ADDED A THIRD ITEM; 'INFO TO MAINT; #1 ENG OIL INDICATES 11 QUARTS AT CRUISE.' NO KIDDING; IT WAS BELOW MAINT MANUAL LIMITS WHEN HE LEFT.
