Narrative:

During descent after approximately 2 hours flight time, the right engine oil quantity went from 12 quarts to fluctuating between 2-4 quarts. Oil pressure and temperature were normal. About 15-20 mins, the oil quantity went to 0-1 quarts, and oil pressure dropped to and stabilized at 10 psi. At the same time, the oil pressure low light illuminated. We performed a precautionary engine shutdown. An emergency was declared, and airport fire and rescue was told to meet the airplane on landing. After clearing the runway, and an arf told us the aircraft looked good, we taxied to the gate. Time of windmilling was approximately 7 mins.
