Narrative:
8-10 mins after takeoff, climbing through 15000 ft, #2 engine oil temperature rose to red line (maximum on indicator). Throttle was reduced to idle, aircraft leveled off at 15000 ft and abnormal/emergency procedures manual was reviewed. All other engine instruments in green band (normal). Oil temperature remained excessively high, and engine was shut down per procedures manual. ZAU controller vectored aircraft to ind (our departure field) where uneventful full stop landing was made on runway 23L. Approximately 34000 pounds of fuel was dumped between 15000 ft MSL and 13000 ft MSL and between approximately 35-50 mi west of ind.

Title: FUEL DUMPED DURING A RETURN LAND PROMPTED BY AN INFLT ENG SHUTDOWN DUE TO HIGH OIL TEMP ON #2 OF A CLBING MD11, 70 NM W OF IND.
Narrative: 8-10 MINS AFTER TKOF, CLBING THROUGH 15000 FT, #2 ENG OIL TEMP ROSE TO RED LINE (MAX ON INDICATOR). THROTTLE WAS REDUCED TO IDLE, ACFT LEVELED OFF AT 15000 FT AND ABNORMAL/EMER PROCS MANUAL WAS REVIEWED. ALL OTHER ENG INSTS IN GREEN BAND (NORMAL). OIL TEMP REMAINED EXCESSIVELY HIGH, AND ENG WAS SHUT DOWN PER PROCS MANUAL. ZAU CTLR VECTORED ACFT TO IND (OUR DEP FIELD) WHERE UNEVENTFUL FULL STOP LNDG WAS MADE ON RWY 23L. APPROX 34000 LBS OF FUEL WAS DUMPED BTWN 15000 FT MSL AND 13000 FT MSL AND BTWN APPROX 35-50 MI W OF IND.
