## Discrepancy

GSO - FL1267 - ON CLIMB-OUT FOR GSO AT APPROXIMATELY 6,000 FEET, THE NR 1 ENGINE OIL QTY GAUGE SLOWLY DROPPED TO ZERO. CREW CALLED GSO TOWER AND DECIDED TO RETURN TO FIELD.  AS THE FLIGHT GOT CLOSER TO GSO, THE NR 1 ENGINE OIL QTY GAUGE STARTED TO CLIMB BACK TO 1.  FLIGHT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  THE NR 1 ENGINE WAS NOT SHUT DOWN AND NO EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE NR 1 ENGINE OIL QTY INDICATOR.  OPERATIONAL CHECK GOOD.  (M)
