Narrative:
In-flight shutdown of #2 engine due to high oil temperature in engine. Oil temperature remained in caution range for over 15 mins and as per pilot's operating manual we shut it down. Landed in orlando, fl, uneventfully. (We declared an emergency.) callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the aircraft was a B737-200 and the engine was a P&west JT8D-15A. The reporter said the problem was not indicated, as pulling back the throttle the temperature decreased and pulling the circuit breaker allowed the instrument needle to drop below '0' reading. The reporter said maintenance has not advised the crew of the corrective action.
