Narrative:
In a 757, on our way out of miami, passing through FL350 onto FL370, we noticed that the right engine oil pressure low light went on and that the right engine oil quantity went to zero. We declared an emergency and requested a return to miami. We were cleared direct to intersection H, pilot discretion to FL240. The captain was flying, and as the first officer, I looked up and announced the following checklists in that order: engine oil pressure low light checklist, engine failure precautionary shut down checklist, single engine landing checklist, single engine go around checklist, and finally the before landing checklist. After securing the right engine and completing all the checklists, we were cleared by center for the visual runway 9L in miami. We requested crash fire rescue equipment before landing and re-confirmed that they would watch for us after landing. After landing, we asked crash fire rescue equipment to check our right engine before ground control cleared us back to our gate. We shut down the left engine as per checklist. Supplemental information from acn 594607: I noticed right engine oil press light flickering. Verified with EICAS, low oil pressure with zero oil quantity. Had first officer run engine failure/precautionary shutdown checklist.

Title: B757-200 CREW HAD LOW OIL PRESSURE AND NO OIL QUANTITY IN ZMA CLASS A.
Narrative: IN A 757, ON OUR WAY OUT OF MIAMI, PASSING THROUGH FL350 ONTO FL370, WE NOTICED THAT THE R ENG OIL PRESSURE LOW LIGHT WENT ON AND THAT THE R ENG OIL QUANTITY WENT TO ZERO. WE DECLARED AN EMER AND REQUESTED A RETURN TO MIAMI. WE WERE CLRED DIRECT TO INTXN H, PLT DISCRETION TO FL240. THE CAPT WAS FLYING, AND AS THE FO, I LOOKED UP AND ANNOUNCED THE FOLLOWING CHKLISTS IN THAT ORDER: ENG OIL PRESSURE LOW LIGHT CHKLIST, ENG FAILURE PRECAUTIONARY SHUT DOWN CHKLIST, SINGLE ENG LNDG CHKLIST, SINGLE ENG GAR CHKLIST, AND FINALLY THE BEFORE LNDG CHKLIST. AFTER SECURING THE R ENG AND COMPLETING ALL THE CHKLISTS, WE WERE CLRED BY CTR FOR THE VISUAL RWY 9L IN MIAMI. WE REQUESTED CFR BEFORE LNDG AND RE-CONFIRMED THAT THEY WOULD WATCH FOR US AFTER LNDG. AFTER LNDG, WE ASKED CFR TO CHK OUR R ENG BEFORE GND CTL CLRED US BACK TO OUR GATE. WE SHUT DOWN THE L ENG AS PER CHKLIST. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 594607: I NOTICED R ENG OIL PRESS LIGHT FLICKERING. VERIFIED WITH EICAS, LOW OIL PRESSURE WITH ZERO OIL QUANTITY. HAD FO RUN ENG FAILURE/PRECAUTIONARY SHUTDOWN CHKLIST.
