I beat them to doing my preflight one day and found it down so I asked for a top off and apparently because I asked instead of them just doing it as the normal procedure it's now a write up.
At the companies I’ve worked at they have specific things they look at every 7 days/30 days. If that’s when they fill it the writeup just mentions 7 day/30 day check (whichever applies). The MX manual describes what they do/check during those inspections. However, if we need them to make special arrangements just to top the oxygen, it requires an “O2 service required” writeup.
