Narrative:

I was assigned to gate call for both engines need oil service; lead mechanic said engine number 2 has oil watch. When I serviced number 2; engine required 10 pints [oil]. I thought number 2 engine already has oil watch; that's why it needed more oil. I did not call maintenance control right away to ground the airplane; until when I am typing in maintenance information; when I am called [by] maintenance control about [how] this happened; the aircraft had already taken off. I thought engine number 2 already has oil watch. [Suggest that] on oil work card; [there should be] a note about [the] need to call maintenance control even [if] aircraft has oil watch.
