Wink It is GE not Trend

"Sinbad - I hate to inject some facts here. But if it was a Trent, the ECAM oil temp warning is generated at 190 degrees C."

EYV and EYW is the only A330 on EY fleet fitted with GE CF6-80!!

I assure you when you have lost all the oil in the engine,Whats left?? When you start the engines, the first parameter you observe is the Oil Press, Am I right? and If you do not have oil pressure ?? you shut down the engine. No matter what make RR OR GE OR PW. The aircraft lost the whole oil QTY, Hight temp, followed by loss of oil Press, you shut down or you are asking for trouble. The temp inside the combuster is 2000 °C ,how an earth the engine will maintain cooling. Would you keep running your car if you lost the entire oil QTY???
