Relative to oil, do you think oil quantity might be monitored through the electronics and oil that is lost or added is maintained in this manner? I note the oil quantity information depicted on Figure A-3 Graphical representation of engine oil properties prior to event in the ATSB report near the report end. I am guessing these charts were put together by ATSB personnel for the report, but actual data may be much more detailed. It indicates a slight drop in oil from just under 12 quarts at the disc burst, a quick recovery and then a steady drop off to 2 quarts at 0201.48.
Personally, I don't have an idea if this is true or not.
