REDUCED; LIMIT ENGINE STRESS [ ] Oil temperature — check for rise confirming actual oil starvation ... MONITOR; RISING TEMP CONFIRMS OIL LOSS [ ] Land as soon as possible — do not continue if oil temperature rises or pressure remains zero ... DIVERTING TO NEAREST AIRPORT [ ] Declare emergency and advise ATC of situation ... SQUAWK 7700; ATC ADVISED ** CAUTION: Zero oil pressure with rising temperature indicates imminent engine seizure. Anticipate engine failure and prepare for forced landing before the engine stops. [ ] Forced landing preparation — if engine seizes or stops, execute forced landing checklist ...
