A pan, pan once when oil pressure dropped to almost zero on right engine. Headed for nearest airport, but this was over New Mexico desert with not many around. Right engine still made power so kept it running, but was prepared to shut it down if it started misbehaving. Landed safely and it turned out to be some carbon stuck in the oil pressure relief valve.
