On descent for landing right engine began losing oil quantity. Pressure and temp were normal. Quantity eventually went to zero. We were unsure at this point if we had a quantity indication failure or actual loss of oil. I planned a 28 flap landing just in case we would have to shut down the right engine. In the turn to base leg we began to lose oil pressure. Ran the appropriate check list and shut down the right engine. Advised ATC and completed a single engine landing. Cleared the runway after landing and made the appropriate PA while CFR checked us. After the checks were complete; we taxied to the gate.
MD83 pilot reported losing engine oil quantity during descent. The quantity eventually went to zero; but the temperature and pressure remained good until turning base. The pressure then began to drop; the engine was shut down; and a single engine landing ensued.
