Guess that the Willie Bio Oil could not handle the job.

Or...Maybe the oil levels were OK and some faulty sensor told the computer oil was low, and the computer control system shut down the engines...?

Just speculating, but with the recent Boeing sensor/system problems this could also be a possibility...

Lots of automation replacing human “eyes-on” these days...Old timer pilots lament younger flight officers know more about computer systems than what makes the plane fly and how to manually respond when a problem presents...Could it be maritime systems have analogous problems cropping up?

Actually, it’s the captains fault. The captain is ultimately responsible for the actions and conduct of his crew.
