Narrative:
We were in cruise at FL270 when we noticed the oil pressure in the right engine fluctuating between 28-45 psi. It spiked to red 2 times very briefly. We contacted dispatch about the issue and they asked if the engine was at idle or shutoff. I responded we are at FL270. No guidance from the company was given during the situation other than to call maintenance in [destination]. We decided as a crew to continue to [destination]. The weather was 200 ovc. We elected to conduct a catii approach. During the approach below 1000 feet; we had four engine oil press master warnings. The pressure read-out was fluctuating around 30 psi so we elected to continue. We landed safely and shut down the affected right engine. We contacted maintenance and they met us at the gate. They discovered that we had 2-3 quarts of oil left in the right engine and losing more. Maintenance then took the airplane offline.the cause of this incident was low oil pressure and possibly low oil level in the right engine. I was unable to speak to maintenance after the issue had been resolved.
