Oil pressure / Oil temperature check, if low pressure / hot then shut down.
I would be wary of shutting down the engine until landing is assured- UNLESS the engine was trying to rip itself out of the airframe OR fire. or another good reason.

I'd also not shut down based upon engine instrumentation alone unless landing was assured though I would look for a suitable spot to land immediately and set myself up for a landing.
