Narrative:

At 8000 ft MSL, #3 engine lost all oil. We advised ATC that we had an engine problem and needed to return for landing. We shut the engine down using all appropriate checklists and landed the airplane safely on 2 engines. We did not declare an emergency. We were at relatively low altitude with many checklists to accomplish before landing using an instrument approach. During the time we shut down the engine and landed the airplane, I neglected to inform ATC we had indeed shut down an engine. Callback conversation with reporter acn 380839 revealed the following information: the engine was a P&west JT8D-7 and the engine was changed due to high oil temperature and the oil loss was caused by a broken bearing supply line.

Title: A B727 ON CLBOUT RETURNED TO THE FIELD DUE TO LOSS OF OIL AND HIGH OIL TEMP ON #3 ENG.

Narrative: AT 8000 FT MSL, #3 ENG LOST ALL OIL. WE ADVISED ATC THAT WE HAD AN ENG PROB AND NEEDED TO RETURN FOR LNDG. WE SHUT THE ENG DOWN USING ALL APPROPRIATE CHKLISTS AND LANDED THE AIRPLANE SAFELY ON 2 ENGS. WE DID NOT DECLARE AN EMER. WE WERE AT RELATIVELY LOW ALT WITH MANY CHKLISTS TO ACCOMPLISH BEFORE LNDG USING AN INST APCH. DURING THE TIME WE SHUT DOWN THE ENG AND LANDED THE AIRPLANE, I NEGLECTED TO INFORM ATC WE HAD INDEED SHUT DOWN AN ENG. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR ACN 380839 REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE ENG WAS A P&W JT8D-7 AND THE ENG WAS CHANGED DUE TO HIGH OIL TEMP AND THE OIL LOSS WAS CAUSED BY A BROKEN BEARING SUPPLY LINE.
