But back to the question - If the engine is about to run out of oil, as I understand it now it looks like the prop would go into full-fine pitch.
It depends on the specific engine type.
The PT6-20/27/28 types...loss of engine oil quantity, the propeller will feather.
I know, because, I've had it happen twice on BE99 aircraft.
On successive nights.
