## Discrepancy

FLT 879 - RNO-SJC - DURING CRUISE, THE FLIGHT CREW NOTICED THAT THE OIL QUANTITY ON NR 2 ENGINE WAS STEADILY DECREASING.  THE CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND MADE A PRECAUTIONARY SHUT DOWN OF THE NR 2 ENGINE.  DURING APPROACH THE OIL QUANTITY RETURNED TO NORMAL.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT AT SJC.  THE NR 2 ENGINE OIL FILTER WAS INSPECTED AND NO DEFECTS WERE NOTED.  THE ENGINE AND OIL QUANTITY INDICATION OPS CHECKED NORMAL.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.  (M)
