Narrative:
Reported crew oxygen bottle replacement [needed] due to being below service check limits on a non-routine instead of low pressure (left/P) as recommended per general maintenance manual (gmm). [Required to] read engineering alert and general manual again and sign. A lot of non-routines generated on this day led me also to include bottle replacement as one of those. [The incident was due to] pure distraction.
