I write it up. Some mechanics get ****ed off at me (don’t care) while others get ****ed off at the mechanic who over-serviced it. One bad fume event was more than enough for me.
Not the first time I have heard this. My Captain wrote this up. MX balked, he made them check the books and then they fixed it.
