Since when is a bog standard engine failure an emergency situation?

A mayday should only be issued if the people on the ground can assist you. Simple.

I cannot think why and how ATC / emergency services / Handling / your mother could help you if your engine is shut down because of low oil pressure!

Back to school for some of you guys I think.
