As the aircraft passed approximately FL180 the flight crew noted low engine oil pressure followed by the illumination of the EICAS warning for same. Almost immediately, this was followed by the oil low quantity EICAS. The crew actioned all the abnormal checklists which required the engine to be shut down.

Re the -200ER: check out the single engine ceiling, even at quite high weights. Seriously hypoxia-inducing.

Humble apologies, cap'n, but I was (and am) away from home when I posted that comment and didn't and don't have the manuals to hand so couldn't check the figures for my recollections, and I knew someone would correct me if I got it 500 feet wrong, so I was hoping someone might come up with them.
I can't remember the AUW, but it wasn't particularly light, and the SE ceiling was around (just above) 30,000 feet. Impressive, and the first time I've seen that figure as a single engine ceiling in a twin of any description.
