Retard or to shut down??

A332 EYV

"I THINK THEY HAD... OIL QTY LOW,LESS THAN 5 QT., AND GOING AND GOING AND GOING UNTIL GONE AT.... 0.1 QT, ALL PARAMETERS NORMAL, EXCPT FOR OIL TEMPERATURE INCREASING"


Normally You get high oil temp warning with Single chime associated with Master caution and an Amber display on the LH lower part of the Upper ECAM when the engine Oil temp exceeds 160°C (320°F) for more than 15 minutes or it exceeds 175°C (347°F) at any time (ENG 1 OIL HI TEMP). The corrective action for this type of defect is to shut down the engine, this is Airbus recommendation. Is it EY QRH procedure to retard the engine rather than shut it down, I wonder. Also I would think that Low oil pressure warning would have been ON and associated with continuous chime and RED display on the lower part of the LH side of the upper ECAM(ENG 1 OIL LO PR)as well as red display of the Number under the curve of that engine indicating in red on the lower ECAM, the recommendation if that happen also is to shut down the engine. I would think that This engine is well and truly cooked. In my opinion the engine should have been shut down to prevent farther damage to the engine and possible fire. That engine lost all its cooling system, It is amazing that no catastrophic event had happen. Very lucky.
