Zero Indicated Oil Qty

As others have said, there is no reason to shut an engine down due to an indication of zero oil quantity IF oil pressure and oil temperature remains within limits. One would have to suppose that the operating crew would have been well aware of that and only reported loss of oil quantity to ATC. Whether a MAYDAY or PAN is declared is purely up to the crew and their assessment of the situation.
