## Discrepancy

THE NR 3 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE WENT TO ZERO ACCOMPANIED BY ILLUMINATION OF THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WHILE EN ROUTE FROM RSW TO EWR.  THE NR 3 ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS DIVERTED TO MCO WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE NR 3 ENGINE.  EXAMINATION REVEALED TURBINE FAILURE ATTRIBUTED TO FUEL NOZZLE STREAKING. THE ENGINE EXITED THE FLEET WITHOUT A TEARDOWN.
