It was pretty fun to see how long it took maintenance to actually notice this elevator was low on oil. It went 18 days before it was fixed. That's nearly a whole month! Enjoy the video!! Subscribe to my main channel! / @jowevator3219

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oeDvciIB02Q.html from around 5:50 in that video. That particular elevator had low oil on absurd levels.
@Saimon Sevcik That’s European Otis elevators though. Otis elevators here in the states aren’t as bad (at least I don’t think they’re as bad). The case of this elevator is lack of maintenance and the deferred contacting of Otis or whoever maintains the elevator.
@@avlifts1989 Idk what you mean, but Gen2s are Otis's traction model, and traction elevators can't get low on oil because they don't run on hydraulics. Also, elevators that are low on oil are caused by either poor maintenance or a bad oil line. Both fall under whoever the building owner/management chooses to maintain the elevator, which is not always who installs the elevator.
Hey, Im not American, in Europe the elevator is usually maintained by the company that installed it or some generic elevator company, not a manager or anyone else, if that elevator was installed in Europe, it would be maintained by otis
