## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMB OUT, THE LT ENGINE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  THE CREW COMPLIED WITH THE QRH, SHUT THE LT ENGINE DOWN AND DECLARED AN EMERGENCY.  AIRCRAFT DIVERTED AND LANDED SAFELY.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE OIL FILTER O-RING ON THE LT ENGINE AND ADDED THREE QUARTS OF OIL.  ALSO, THE REDUCTION GEAR BOX AND MAIN OIL TANK CHIP DETECTORS WERE PULLED FOR POSSIBLE FOREIGN OBJECT DAMAGE.  NO DAMAGE WAS FOUND.  THE ENGINE RUN AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD.  AIRCRAFT OK FOR SERVICE.
