August 9, 201114 yr Is there a way to just service necessary items instead of overhauling a system? My Alaska Airlines bird is burning oil and low in one tank of hydraulic fluid. Is there a way to effectively just "top off" the fluids? or do i just press to service them via the maintenance pages, thus restarting the service required clock? Thanks Ryan Vanderbrook
August 9, 201114 yr I asked a few days ago about this, and Shane (yycvor) is asking currently to, no one seems to know lol Rick Butler Rainbow Lake Alberta, Canada
August 9, 201114 yr Thinking he is saying you have to service the system............ Rick Butler Rainbow Lake Alberta, Canada
August 9, 201114 yr Any elaboration? HahaNo, there's no way to simple fill up the fluids. Sorry, I just read your post quickly and overlooked you asking if you just press the service button.

August 10, 201114 yr sorry to dig this back up out of the grave, but there is a way to refill the hydraulic quantity without doing the overhaul, its on failures, hydraulics, programmed, and on page 3, you see A and B sys qty refill.....i dont see anything for the engine oil though, maybe pmdg forgot to put it in?

August 14, 201114 yr So my NGX with service based failures is also burning oil. The problem is that when I service the engine system, it does not refill the oil. I even tried servicing all systems and still no change to oil levels. Any suggestions?? John Guidry AMD Phenom™II X4 965 Black Edition Quad-Core Sapphire ATI 5870 1GB GDDR5
