## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) A/C IN CRUISE, LEFT ENGINE OIL QUANTITY WENT TO ZERO. THEN LEFT OIL TEMPERATURE MOVED THROUGH CAUTION RANGE TO WARNING (RED). PILOT PERFORMED PRECAUTIONARY SHUTDOWN AND DIVERTED FLIGHT TO MDT (HARRISBURG). AIRCRAFT LANDED UNEVENTFULLY AND NORTHWEST MAINTENANCE CONTROL WAS CONTACTED FOR REPAIRS.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
