rolling20 thanks for the update – location and time with engine shutdown (90min) – ETOPS.
The tech problem is reported to be due to oil pressure / oil filter.
Presumably low oil pressure would at least be an amber alert probably resulting in an engine shutdown. However, does the B787 have inflight monitoring for a clogged oil filer available to the crew as is implied elsewhere. If so what type of indication or combination of indications would result in a shut down?
Alternatively are we entering an era of remote in-flight monitoring (Boeing / GE ground stations) where advice might be offered to the crew?

This appears to be the second ‘oil’ event during ETOPS - United routing Tokyo to Denver diverted to Seattle (June).
