Narrative:

On rotation left engine oil quantity dropped from 20 quarts to 10 quarts. Upon shutdown the quantity rose to 13 quarts. Maintenance filled the left engine oil quantity to full and it took 13 pints. The oil consumption limits and the technical waiver limits were exceeded; nevertheless the aircraft was put back in service; why? Remember that said quoted 'consumption' occurred within less than 1.5 mins of operation. I was told that the aircraft needed an engine change. Maintenance agreed. After the shift change; things changed. Very disappointing. Technician needs to realize that there is a big difference between oil consumption over a 3 hour flight versus a 1.5 min takeoff roll.

Narrative: ON ROTATION L ENG OIL QUANTITY DROPPED FROM 20 QUARTS TO 10 QUARTS. UPON SHUTDOWN THE QUANTITY ROSE TO 13 QUARTS. MAINT FILLED THE L ENG OIL QUANTITY TO FULL AND IT TOOK 13 PINTS. THE OIL CONSUMPTION LIMITS AND THE TECHNICAL WAIVER LIMITS WERE EXCEEDED; NEVERTHELESS THE ACFT WAS PUT BACK IN SVC; WHY? REMEMBER THAT SAID QUOTED 'CONSUMPTION' OCCURRED WITHIN LESS THAN 1.5 MINS OF OP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ACFT NEEDED AN ENG CHANGE. MAINT AGREED. AFTER THE SHIFT CHANGE; THINGS CHANGED.
